History:
One night I left the light on and the battery died. I replaced the battery and after driving for 20 minutes and parking the car won't turn on again, jumping the car works. I replaced the starter and it started again but won't turn on every time.
Currently:
The car only starts sometimes, we left the car running when going into a store for a quick purchase and the car was off before we got back (scary to drive now). The car wouldn't start again. After 3 hours we tried starting it again and it worked. Drove it back home, tried starting it at home and it won't start again. Any ideas on what is going on here?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2005 Honda Civic. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Trevor. Anytime you are experiencing this sort of concern it is time for a certified technician to test the electrical system. A fuse, wiring possibly alternator may be causing the problem
We can certainly test your system and diagnose the problem first thing Monday morning.

Sorry Dan, I just want advice on how to fix the car myself.
