    Can you start the car with jump leads from another? It'll tell help in diagnosing the problem. This weather plays havoc with any battery nearing the end of it's useful life. Good luck.

    Sorry about the delay. Its a 98 Honda Prelude so it is.Cant get it jump started cause the others cars in the driveway have the battery in the boot so cant use that option!

    Take a battery out of one of the cars in the drive-way start it up then take it out and put your one in

    Works perfect, at least he will find out is that the battery problem.

    I wouldnt be surprised if the battery is dead now, plenty cold nights we had and i believe the battery isnt new on that old car.

    Forget the boot batteries so if they're blowin your mind re using them, get your prelude out off the driveway or wherever you can get near a running car. Jump them together, wait a while with all electrics off in the prelude and that includes rear window heaters, radio, fan, etc, then key the prelude and tell us what happens then, nothing? a half turn? a click from a relay somewhere? fast turnover but no fire?
