Hello,

This sounds like you could have a problem with your vehicle's anti theft immobilizer system. In the diagrams down below I have included a description of your vehicle's immobilizer system as well as a factory diagnostic troubleshooting guide for the immobilizer system. You will need to be able to use a multi-meter to go through this troubleshooting guide, so here is a link, if you are unfamiliar with how to use one, for you to go to below:

Please go through these guides and get back to us with what you are able to find.

Thanks,
Alex

I have a 2002 honda civic, the car has worked wonderfully its whole life. but all of a sudden yesterday I went to start the car and it would not even turn over. Instead the odometer in my dashboard displayed 888888 at me, along with the needle on my rpm, mph, and gas gauges "bouncing" up and down repeatedly making a "clicking sound". it continued for about 10 seconds until it stopped. as well as that, half of my electrical does not work, anything power (locks windows etc.) the tail lights, cabin lights, and head lights did not work. although the horn and the hazard lights do work. this happened completely out of he blue so i have no idea what it could be. (I'm also 100% sure its not the battery)

also uploaded a vid of my dash to you tube

If not battery then a battery cable, connection or one of the maxi fuses in the under hood fuse panel. Get back to us

You probably need to have the codes read, and altho I am not a Honda specialist, it sounds like a body control module.

My car won't even turn over, no gauges work, my lights won't turn on. Bought and installed a brand new battery, still nothing changes. Just replaced starting relay, also. Any idea why my car won't start?

Do you have a digital voltmeter and know how to use it? If so, start right on the battery posts and measure the voltage. Move the probes to the battery cable clamps and measure again, then work your way down the cables to the next accessible points. You're looking for the first place you find the voltage missing. The tests will be more accurate if you turn on the head lights even though they don't work. In particular look where the smaller negative battery wire bolts to the body and the smaller positive wire bolts to the under-hood fuse box. Those connections often work loose.
