I am thinking the neutral lockout switch on the shifter lever. A minute ago I went to Walmart and on the way home it would not crank. Midiot light lit up but the start button did nothing but give a click over near the glove compartment. I finally put it in Neutral and it cranked. The button on the shifter did not want to work at first but I finally got it in Neutral. It is a 2016 Honda CRV EX. I put a brand new batter init yesterday and charged it up fully.
@@mksckumara it works half the time. This problem is intermittent. Acts like a switch. I put the shift lever in N and if cranked. My wife of 52 years can break anything. She can only be trusted with an anvil, otherwise I have something else to fix😛
@@mksckumara when the electrical circuit is made it starts the car,normally. I do not know what is impeding the start circuit, but it is intermittent. Acts almost like a safety on a riding lawn mower, something is breaking the start circuit. On my CRV is the big audio screen. Tonight, when I tried to crank it, it would not. But as soon as the audio screen came on it would crank.
@@johnclarke6647 Based on the above description, it can be due to a connection issue of the battery wires, check the battery negative terminal grounding to the car body. check the key fob battery condition If the car is around 120000 km, the starter motor also can give similar intermittent starting symptoms. But in that case, you can hear a clicking sound from the bottom of the engine during failed attempts.
@@mksckumara I found the problem and have it fixed. When Honda replaced the battery in this car in 2020 the must have loosened the auxiliary ground wire which mounts to the side of the negative terminal. They had to replace the battery, again, in 2021 because it failed. I think T He bolt they loosened came out pretty soon after they replaced the first battery, so it did not charge, properly and they did not correct the issue when the replaced the battery. I caught the missing bolt when Walmart replace the battery the other day. I was going to put a new boot in it but the hole in the connector will not line up with the hole in the terminal. So, the ground connector was just laying on the ground terminal and would work sometimes and not work other times. This morning I put a big pair of hemostats on the connector and it has cranked every-time, since. I have an appointment at Honda and I am going to make them fix it. I would but would loose the codes for the radio, cd,etc. I am not putting those codes in,again. I think it was also effecting how the battery charged. It is a poor electrical design in my book.
How about the break pedal switch? I have no problem starting the car but I think wife stands on the break pedal. It also seems to be more of a problem when the battery is not 100% charged. It is not the starter. The electrical signal never gets that far.
@@mksckumara no, just a relay over by the glove compartment. I press down the break pedal and press the start button. Dead meat. Sometimes if I keep pressing the break pedal it will start. The break pedal does act a little funny.
@@johnclarke6647 like it’s hard unable to press down right ? It almost reminds me of the feeling after you pump the brake a couple times and it seizes up … That’s what I’m experiencing
Started normally with the relay pulled? Looking at the wiring diagram that's not possible. Would be like removing a light switch, capping the wires and when you flip the breaker back on, the fixture lights up

It could betransmission range swich. How did you verify that the starter be good?

Do you hear any clicking sound at the starter when the car is not starting? ruclips.net/user/shortsNiCiQZa8Jcg?feature=share

Ive try everything and nothing
This can't be it. I pulled it and it still started. If that was the relay it wouldn't start at all
