What could be wrong with my car?

I have a 1988 honda prelude 2.0 si efi 4 wheel steering does not have ANY electrical power im talking power locks,windows,lights,brake lights nothing works there is no clicking at all when i try to start it.

This is what Ive done to the car lately to try to figure out whats wrong.



I have recharged my battery didn't work

Put a new battery in didn't work

had the alt and starter checked they are fine

checked and changed fuses that are all good

changed main relay didnt help

rewired the cables that connect to the battery posts didnt help

cleaned the battery posts didnt help

checked all grounds I could all were fine



This car was running fine forever I took the valve cover off (it stayed off for about 2months and yesthe car was in my garage) I also bought and replaced the cat converter,wipers,tail light casing,hedders, piping from hedders to exhaust. Then I tried to start my car and this no electrical problem happend? ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS? OTHER THAN WAHT IVE ALREADY DONE?



Our attitudes control our lives. Attitudes are a secret power working twenty-four hours a day, for good or bad. It is of paramount importance that we know how to harness and control this great force.If your going to be a jerk just keep clicking I dont need it.What could be wrong with my car?It is going to be some thing simple, but you will need a wiring diagram. It should be easy to find on point in the schematic that is a common denominator. It's got to be an in-line fuse (one that is difficult to discern visually, but will appear on the diagram); a wire with apparently good insulation, but a bad terminal, or broken conductor within the insulation; a common ground wire or hot wire loosely connected, like the primary wire to the starter, or alternator. It will end up being right in front of your nose, too. But, again, refer to a schematic. You can get them online, often times for free.What could be wrong with my car?ask for help but thinking jerk..hmmm

1 start with battery..12.7 volts at rest..

2 cables,,hooked up right? good at both ends?

3 did you accidently hook it up backwards first? and blow the main fuseable link [and everthing elseWhat could be wrong with my car?Sounds to me like the positive battery cable is bad or you have a bad ground. I would replace the positive cable and check, clean and tighten the ground cable. Also check the ground strap that connects the engine to the chassis.What could be wrong with my car?did you have a lot of weight on your key chain if so you should look at the key cylinder or Ingaition switch on the colum under the dash or even the fuise links to the starter aka in line fuses they are right on the starter 2 or 3 of them you need a test lighi turn the key on check for power on the starter side of the wiresWhat could be wrong with my car?oops gave bill low rating pressed wrong button

i think bill is on the right track with the ignition switch on the steering column as you seem to have everything else covered
