Where are my pants?
I have a 2002 Honda Civic EX (automatic) that I use primarily as a commuter car--since buying it new it's never given me any trouble. Low mileage, and well cared for. Oil is changed regularly, routine maintenance done, etc.
About a week ago my husband took it out to pick up dinner, and when he tried to start it nothing would turn over...moreover, the shifter became locked in the "Park" position. We thought initially that it might be the battery, so I drove up to the parking lot and tried to jump it--didn't work. We putzed around with it for an hour or so, and finally when we turned the key the engine started and we were able to get it home.
For a few days after that it worked just fine...
Now, yesterday morning I tried to leave for work and again, it won't start. No click, no turn over, and the shifter is again stuck in the "park" position.
What in the world is the problem? Starter? Alternator? Battery? Something else?
If anyone experienced with this sort of thing has any ideas, I would be very appreciative for some advice. Thank you!
