No start Honda 87 Accord

[Michael]

The car has no power, we’ve tried boosting it from another vehicle with multiple sets of cables. We’ve tried boosting it from a booster pack. There is no clicking, there is no power even to the horn. I’ve checked the fuses under the hood and none of them seem burned out.

sounds like you’ve got some electrical wiring issues. check out the ignition wiring as well as the distributor as they often short out on Hondas of that generation. I believe Eric also has written some articles on diagnosing electrical problems in cars, so check that out. Also maybe this video will help you out somewhat: http://youtu.be/E7h5KaX2-Y8 I know it’s a much newer accord but it may lead you to some probable suspects. good luck and keep us posted

Look at the larger fuses (the ones that are screwed to the fuse box). You may have burned up the 100 amp fuse for the electrical system. Sometimes this happens if the vehicle was not jump started correctly. More info on no starts here.
