2004 Honda Accord V6 Won't Start
Вставка

- 2004 Honda Accord will not start. Is this the master relay, immobilizer or starter? The car just seemed to not turn over without any warning. I have heard this gurgle / ticking sound from the steering column that almost like the sound of an electronic relay. You can hear it in the video. See for yourself and see what you think. I have no idea.
UPDATE: The solution was the starter, I replaced the starter and its been A-OK since. Hope this helps.
Mine just did a similar thing twice today. All of a sudden didn't wanna start. I turned and locked the steering wheel and started right up. not sure if that's going to help you but watching your video gave me that idea thanks 🤘🎯🇺🇸🏁
For those wondering the solution...it was the starter...I replaced it and everything was better.
Every time I try to start a 95 it doesn't even attempt to crank, it jist makes this weird "erk" noise... think it may be the starter?
it's probably the starter yes.
Tim Thome the problem is not from the stater, it's from the ignition. I recently changed my starter and it's making the same sound.

Well you're an idiot. It was the starter.
My car isn't starting, when I turn the key and sink the clutch I get nothing. My starter isn't making any weird sound. Just would not turn over
I have an ‘04 Honda Accord Lx and I just did this to me last Friday. I’m kind of happy to know that it is just the starter. I got it towed to a shop and waiting for him to tell me
fullmetalgirl13 what was the issue?
Honda just replaced my main fuel relay, little tiny part under the dash. Fixed my issue completely!!! Total cost $24.83
The car has been running for 3 years now after I replaced the starter...so far so good. I hope it continues to start with no problems after posting this update.
My 04 honda accord i think is doing the same thing. How much did it cost to replace
the starter wasnt' much, maybe $100...can't remember. I will say that the rebuilit starter did die on me and I took it back in for a replacement under the warranty. Bit of a pain in the rear to do the work a second time.
Tim Thome my car do the same thing
Tim Thome ground wire under the manifold might be loose, try tightening it
It’s your ignition switch! There’s a reset button next to your shift knob. Mine is on left.. ( if not exposed) take off the cap it’s . Small hole.. you can use your key to press it Press on brake and poke that hole ( reset button) then move your shift to neutral and release your foot on brake and let it move back then press brake . Leave on neutral & Try starting your car. If it starts it’s your ignition switch..
Fun fact, although it looks like you've long-since solved your problem: When the immobilizer is the issue, the starter works fine, it just wont fire. Just sits there and cranks forever. Had that problem on my 2003 with the K24 engine. Other than that, stellar car, mine still runs like new with 209,000 miles!
The starter is located under hood just to the lower left of battery (on right side), it you tap with hammer a few times it will start, that's what I did for 3 months before I could afford a new starter. I have a new starter, new battery, n my car looks exactly like yours. heard that Ignition switches have been recalled. I have a VC-6, 2005 Honda Accord EX-l
Our son's car is still working great with none of the starter issues.
Not necessarily the starter. I just had that same issue, and it turns out that the ground wire was disconnected from the starter. 2 second fix.
You were lucky. My 04 Accord transmission died at 108k miles back in 2011. So disappointing. But since the car was barely worth more in resale than a new transmission plus a 0% finance offer I traded in for over 1000 above blue book. Always good to catch dealers at the end of the month and end of model year.
I love 2003-2009 Accord V6 Sedans and coupe they are reliable and cheap to fix.
Great information! Thanks!!! I think I have a battery issue! Very weak start, but does start! Thanks again!!
Your starter might be about to go out.
We recently purchased a 2004 Honda Accord V6 for our son's first car. Several weeks after purchase we started having this problem. Our local Honda dealership was ABSOLUTELY NO HELP! After viewing this video and reading the comments, we took the car to a repair shop specializing in alternators, starters, and electrical wiring. They suspected something had gone bad within the starter, and less than 24 hours later the car was fixed for about $169. They did not replace the whole starter, just replaced/repaired various parts within it. We just got it back yesterday afternoon, so time will tell. Hope this helps someone.
Hey my car has same issue on 2005 honda accord v6. I am not sure what to do...does your car running fine now? or still sometime issue with start up?
What all happen? Did the key turn over at all?
@@jessicawhite6729, wow, it was so long ago! If I remember right, sometimes it would start and sometimes it wouldn’t. It was really random.
i have the same problem also and it would not start then an hour later it would start and its been acting stupid for the past couple days but im going to buy a starter tomorrow and after watching this it seems like thats the deal, thanks for sharing
hold the steering wheel to the right and try to start sometimes when the steering wheel locks up it dosent start
I had the same problem on a 2005 Honda Accord. It's your starter so just hit it cuple times and it should start up no problem
My Honda just started doing this ! 😩
Battery
Give yourself a boost before changing starter i just had the same problem and I have it a boost and it started right on then I went to chamge my battery and its been good ever since
I replaced the starter and that fixed my problem with getting the car to start. The relay "ticking" problem is still there.
I faced same issue.Solution: try keep gear on N
Amr Ahmed Fouad Mansour you're the real MVP for this thank you I got mine started because of u
For real, thanks you SO much man
I tested the starter, battery all work good, I replaced the relay and still not starting. I just tried your method and put it on N and worked!!! Amazing! But have to put it on N every time I start it.
What is the problem, what I need to replace??
Please help. And thank you so much for your N advice.
Amr Ahmed Fouad Mansour you’re a life saver just done ✅ this and it works perfectly now
Mine did the same thing to me! But my accord was '03...It was the starter.
the key blinking is to remind you that the key is still on the ignition slot...just remove it...
Please let me know what you did..i have same problem. I changed starter and altanator.
My gf had the same problem with her 2007 Honda Accord V6. You turn the key and nothing happened except the dash lights turned on. We had to replace the refurbished starter with a brand new one and it started up just fine. She learned a valuable lesson, NEVER buy refurbished car parts. Lol.
the problem in this video was the starter needed to be replaced.
is your car okey now after replaced starter? my car has a same problem too
ok thank you,
Thet Aung hey have you fixed yours yet ?? my car my dad said he took it to get it fixed but a few mths later it was still the same..., im so lost pls give me updates
Tim Thome my car is having same problem thanks for the help
Exact same issue and the starter WAS the issue.
So I know replacing the starter worked for you but we are having this same issue with our 2004 honda accord and I replaced the starter and got a new key... worked for awhile with the green light still blinking... but now it is back to doing the same thing? anyone have any suggestions?
Hey, were you able to solve the problem?
It's your ignition switch
WoW how ironic? I am having the same problem and the mileage you have right now is almost identical to my v6 accord........this is a pattern failure for this particular model 04 v6.
I'm having the Same problem I was reading on forums that ignition switch has a recall but I do hope its just a relay
Thanks you I had the same problem it was a starter
Thank you this video was was helpful my 2003 Honda Accord ex just did the same thing! Although it has been giving me problems as of lately but it usually always starts by try too but not this time :/
SomeFamousDude same here. Normally it starts in a few but I've been trying for an hour now and nothing
792bnz ya it ended up being my starter. Got it replaced haven’t had any problems since haha
@@MrRichieRides sweet. I end up replacing it that same day. All seems good so far
having the same problem 2007 accord. I just changed, a headlight. after I started the car once and it was fine then turned it off and then tried to start and that is when I get the buzzing sound.
You fixed cause mines is doing the same thing
Older honda are a pain in the ass compared to older Toyota. Wouldn't recommend buying one.
It depends on the Vin # of the Honda if it starts with a JHM good car. AHM. pos
Where u able to fix it ?? I’m having this trouble
Hi, My 2005 Accord V6 now has the exact problem, EXCEPT I could hear the sound very briefly that my engine trying to start, instead no sound at all in your video other than the ticking sound. . .
It thinks it is in drive...drive and park are both lit up. I am going through this now and going crazy. Gonna replace the whole gear shifter myself
hi
I am facing exact same issue with my 2003 Accord V6 except for this sound you mentioned. I do not hear any sound at all. Were you able to get your issue resolved and what was the solution?
Appreciate your response
2:44 I hear it too!
Thanks for posting this video. It was very helpful since my car is doing almost the same thing. I was wondering if you replaced the starter yourself and if so, if you remember where it was located in the v6. I know there are tons of video tutorials but my v6 looks nothing like all the videos I've watched. Thanks!
This happened for the first time for me but it’s Christmas and I haven’t drove it in 4 days could this be a factor? Snow and 15 degrees brake peddle not hard to push
Mine was doing this exact same thing and I have replaced the ignition switch and didn’t help a bit! Still nothing! Starter relay maybe???
If I could fix em over the web...I wouldn't have to go to work, but seriously folks find yourself an honest mechanic. Believe it or not we're not all crooks. Try small independent shops when the guy (or gal) you talk to owns the place
my sound is under dash and only when key is held half off and half engaged on my hands are to big to get to starter we have changed battery that was bad
I had already replaced my starter because my car absolutely would not start one day and I had it towed to Goodyear. $430 later I had the same problem 2 days later. Took it back to Goodyear and they told me I had a "bad starter", they put another one in and the very next day it would not start again. I then took my car to Honda where they diagnosed the main fuel relay. My starter never was bad but my car has almost 130,000 on it so it probably would have needed to be done anyway. I usually alway
My car is like that now and I bought it yesterday, it was driving good yesterday and now doing exactly like that. I need help what need to be fix or I got finessed.
Dear sir my honda accord 2004 model won’t start i have made a new key 3. years back coz my original key was lost but now when i tried to start the car the car looks like it’s starting but won’t start , i think that the problem is with my key sensor .. coz my another key without sensor does the same it’s takes start but won’t start the car guide me please shud i go for scanner to reprogrammed my key again
Everyone knows that sound! You got a book mouse in your dash with an old fashion typewriter.
Richard Lucas 😂
The sound your hearing is the air mix Moter it has nothing to do with the car not starting
im having a similar problem with my 2006 odyssey. checked the alternator, starter and battery and everything is good even the fuses. that was yesterday and today I noticed a red flashing dot when I lock the car with the key instead of the remote. Can't find an answer on UA-cam, any help would be appreciated.
Same thing happened to me. I know this comment is old. But If you get this, can you comment back any info on what worked or what happened to get your car working again? Thanks
@@user-ub8ck3fi6s I changed both the alternator and starter close to a year apart so I'm not sure which one was the problem. When it died completely without warning, it was the alternator and before I changed the starter, I had it checked at autozone and they said it was fine. Installed it again and still had problems. I had a mechanic test it and he said it was not strong enough so I changed it and it fixed the problem. Hope that helps
YOU'LL KNOW IT'S NOT THE ALTENATOR BECAUSE YOU'D BE STUCK ON THE STREETS WHILE DRIVING.
Sir the starter does that every time I turn it on or off for the past 18 years... have you looked at your gas gauge-
I have a 2003 honda accord ex . 2.4
I was driving and all of a sudden the car stalled on me . I tried to crank it a few times and it started and cut back off in like 5 sec and after that it hasn't started yet. After I try to crank it there is a buzzing from the ignition until I turn it back to the 1 position. Also when I turn to the 2 position the "D" gear indication comes on for a few seconds and then goes off. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated . I changed the ignition switch but that did not help.
My 2004 accord ex is doing the EXACT same thing. I've also heard clicking under the dash and behind my steering wheel. The mechanic I take it to has replaced the starter twice and it still won't start sometimes. I've been stranded twice already. I'm taking it to Honda next week. Was wondering if you were able to diagnose??
What was the issue?
Did it quit all of the sudden or did it give you signs before it quit? Mine quit yesterday all of the sudden. It does a small click sound when I turn the key and that's all.
for me it was the starter. did the main fuel relay fix the gurgling sounds?
dude that's your a ingnistion switch under your steering wheel that's why the green lights on meaning it's bad
it was the starter...ignition was fine.
I have the same problem new starter but still struggles to start.
@@ThatBlue92 how u got it fix wat was the problem
Did you fixed because this people don’t understand the noice of the relay I have de same problem
My car is doing the same thing literally it just left my wife and son stranded and had to get someone to pick them up I hope this is the fix
How much did it cost to replace the starter?
mine does the same thing but i hear electrical like sound under the hood. even when i I turn the key off and take it out the noise still sounds for about 3 to 5 minutes. then I have to stop by saw smoke coming
I have 2004 hinda coupe n it did the same thing I toolkit to a mechanic n told me that the fuel relay was bad n after he switch it to a new one the car didn't start so he did a bypass to the relay n put the fuel pump directly to the starter cause he said that the communication from the computer to the main relay was cut off so now he said that I need to check the diagram n locate the wire that goes from the computer to the relay n see if it's cut off burn etc if not he said that I'm gonna have to take the computer n reset it cause it has something to do with the main relay since it has something to do with the fuel pump n the ignition switch I really want to know what the deal is cause everybody that I know have the same problem
I think i have the same problem as you....... i have a rapid clicking "electricity" noise when i turn the key to START (III), it sounds like its right behind the steering wheel. is this your case as well? its a rapid like "static" ticking noise
so your problem was fixed w/ new starter?
Yup wheel lock is normal for majority of cars without the key
I'm currently experiencing same problem
that sound is the starter trying to turn
it was my starter too. and removing that battery plate is hella difficult. its awkward as shit
Did you replace starter yourself?
I'm having the same issue my won't start now my steering also locked up on it on the I try move the steering wheel now I can't my car to started I have honda 2003
i have the exact same problem, were you able to resolve this?
So did u get it fixed I got the same issue n I changed my starter! Pls help! Thank u
Did replacing the starter fix the gargling noise?
My Honda Accord does a blinking key light when I take out the key to, but it starts
Check your battery
omg yes, my mom has the exact same problem, everything u said they sounds underneath, and my mom car won't start either and when my mom was driving it my mom's car would lag starting like, like it would lag for like 5 sec then start
Did you figured out the problem?
Does the light key still show
I have the same car. Mine won't start, makes no noise when I try to crank it, but the immobilizer light turns off when it's started but when the car is shut off the light flashes 5x. Anyone please help figure out the problem!!
StrangeTamer 69x is the starter.
i have an 08 odyssey and it would do that when i take the key out i dont think it means anything
The key blinking is ok that's normal
let me guess what is the problem
I'm having the same problem doesnt start now and a week ago it started by turning the key to the off position to on
thanks
I had the same problem my started was out and after i replaced it my key wont start it only electric start from remote starts it
how much was it to replace it?
I have same exact problem with my 2003 Accord V6 EX. Tried differet keys. No luck. Anybody know if it is the starter for sure?
MIne's just did that today,did you get yours fixed
It's the starter. They are a problem with honda's.
It sounds like the starter selinoid
Had same problem as showed in video . It's 2005 V6 accord and brought 2 days ago , all of sudden car did not start and green key shaped light flashing ,brake turned hard and no crank sound usually you get when start the car . I tried 5 -6 times and checked connections and turned on lights everything seems nice . After 10 mins i was able to start the car. But i hear some weird noise from hood , I feel something isn't right. Dealer gave only one key I assume its a second key. Main key he doesn't have. do you think the problem pertains to key ?.
Might be the altinator
It means the key is not in ther
it was the starter.
If you dont have the right key, it will lock your steering and dis activate your fuel pump.
The key is normal!! all hondas have been doing this for years when you take the key out!!
that ticking is a huge relay. need a starter! but I just read that.
Hi. I drive a 2001 accord and my car won't start even as the starter is being tapped. there is power in the car and I recently replaced the alternator. The battery can be no more than a year and a half old. The car makes a single click when turning the key to start the car. I was thinking it was ignition issue as I have noticed my green key light staying on longer than usual. please advise.
You need to have your starter replaced. Buy a brand new starter and read up how to install it yourself. I did it on my gf's car in 45 min. The starter should be around $150-$180 and find someone who has a good ratchet set.
Starter was the problem on mine.
Starter
dont cout on me to know anthing on cars though rely on someoe who knows there stuff
Computer
how much was it to fix?
dickdiggler2 The starter was ummm..i can't remember...about $150 or so...it's been a while, but it wasn't shockingly expensive.
