Asked by GuruLWX9K Jun 08, 2019 at 12:44 AM about the 2006 Honda Civic LX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I tried starting my 06 Honda Civic using only the
key without the FOB Chip. Thought battery was
dead, Tried jumping it , didn't work. Battery was
tested and is good. Hooked battery back in to the
car and all dash lights out, won't turn over and only
the hazard lights flash on their own and the engine
makes a buzzing sound as if something is on.

Has no power? If it won't crank but battery is OK could b starter. U can take it out and have starter tested. Where's buzzing noise coming from?
