Well I talked Duane into finding someone to take the battery to Autozone today and make sure it's not bad!!! Only took me 2 days to convince him 
So hopefully AJ and his girlfriend will make it here later today to take care of this for me.
Hard for Duane to do since he has a motorcycle right now for transportation. I'm hoping it's the battery.... then we'll push start it and head to Walmart or Costco for a new one! Then I can go back to work!!! (Oh darn)
Oh yeah.... yes checking fuses was the first thing Duane did on Monday nite!

yeah i think it is a weak battery.
same thing happened to mine, i got it tested and they said it was still good, but after a day it would die out and the battery wouldn't hold a charge at least not from our alternators. i got a battery at walmart for like $70 and its been running perfectly and starts quickly everytime even with my amp/sub setup.
hope u got it all figured out

If it's not battery, fuses, wires then it could be starter but that would make a different noise.

Then it should have worked by using another battery.......
So I'm not sure his battery was charged. That's why if we can get a ride to Autozone we're checking the battery first. Unfortunately we don't have a ride there yet.

CAR IS RUNNING !!!
Duane can't believe it was the battery...... just because he's never had one do that before!

xtremesq & Duane -
Glad to hear you got your car back
The Honda battery is good for ~5 years, it appears. After that, you 'all are on your own'...
actually - 5 years off any battery is a heavy expectation. You did good! (assuming you have the original OEM battery in your car).
Does that mean xtremesq can go to work tomorrow ?!?

Lots of changes going on evidently.... but at least I shouldn't have angry people yelling at me now!
