I have a 1989 Honda Accord Sedan, and it won't start at all, I put a battery in and all I got was headlights, tail lights, and locks. I turned the key and it didn't beep or anything, and I tried to start it and got nothing, no crank or anything, what all could be wrong?

Yeah they didn't come on, I was going to change the fuses but I decided to get the opinion of someonr who knew more than me. I tried to pop the clutch to see if it would even run, but it has been cut off for a long time, so I'm re-building the engine.
