I have a 2013 Honda Accord 2.4L with only 35,000 miles. About a month and a half ago, I started experiencing an intermittent starting problem with the push start button. When I depress the brake pedal and push the start button, all of my “normal” dash lights come on as if I put it in Axillary mode …

You might want to fix the typos in your post (2.4L, not 4.2L). As to your problem, I’d post this on a Honda Accord forum, much more likely to find someone there that has had this unusual problem happen to them. It is something in the starting system, so the switches and sensors involved would be m…

Touche! Thanks for the heads up on the typos. My frustration levels are through the roof. Thank you! Honda forum…here I come…

it depends on where the click is coming from. it could be coming from the relay or the starter. Find the relay and look for another one with the same numbers and swap them. if that cures it, just buy a new relay. The next thing I would try is clean up all battery cable connections, both at the b…

I just had it in for the battery connector recall and I replaced the battery a few days after that. I guess I’ll start with the relay as you suggested. Thanks.

There is a tread with a number of Honda Accord owners that had starter failures. It seems the starter solenoid contacts wear prematurely. [image] Honda push button start problem General Discussion I have a 2013 Honda Accord with push button start. About a year ago began …

ASk your tech to measure the voltages at the two starter terminals during attempted cranking. Both should be at least 10.5 volts. Terminal to starter case. If they are, likely you’ve got a faulty starter motor. Usually when this test is done however one or both of the volatages will be low or …

Hey, HELP PLEASE!! Did you find a solution?? I am having the exact same problem Since it is intermittent my mechanic thinks it could be a corroded cable leading to the starter and that the starter itself may be fine, which would explain why sometimes it works and sometimes it can’t connect dependin…

Did anyone with this issue find the exact cause for the intermittent starting? I have a 2013 Accord, with basically the same issue, but only happens about every 5th attempt. I’m afraid its going to leave me stranded, but I don’t want to bring it in without knowing more precisely what the issue co…

Are your symptoms exactly the same? It turns on the dash lights but doesn’t crank the engine? Or does it not turn on the dash lights either. If it’s the former, there are lots of potential causes but the first place I’d look is probably the brake light switch. If you start the car in a garage, the…
