    My 2002 Honda Civic has been great and given me very little trouble. This morning I went to get into the car, pushed the beeper and nothing happened. Tried a few times but nothing. Opened the car with the key, put the keys in the ignition and again, nothing, no lights or anything. I had used the car 2 days before and it was fine. I checked and I had not left the headlights on or anything.

    I was late for work so did not have time to try anything else, but I'm wondering what it could be? Fecked battery? Bad earth? Loose connection? What should I be checking when i get home?
    Thanks

    first thing I would try is jump starting it.... see how that goes....
    if you can start it from a jump start it narrows down whats wrong a bit,
    usually battery, altenator or earth fault, that has drained the battery over the last 2 days.

    I agree!! Try with the car battery 1st. If its still the orginal battery it'll be coming to the end of its life.
