Default Accord will not start

I have a 2003 Accord. It wasn't been driven on a few months and when I tried late last night I found the battery dead. I attempted to jump it for over an hour.

This morning , I took the battery (6 months old ) to the shop and they said it was almost dead. They charged it for almost 4 hours. when I arrived , they placed a load on it and stated it's fine now.

When I installed the battery, I got no dashboard lights, no starter turn, nada. I also tried another battery from my Highlander, nothing helped.?

Okay

Auto, 4-door, less than 75K miles

Doesn't do anything. Turn key, no lights on console, doesn't turn etc. Just like very dead battery.

Check the battery cables and be sure they are clean and tight. Also check the "other" end of the ground cable.

Next check the fuses in the underhood fuse box - look at the large amp fuses.....do you have a volt meter or test light?
