2003 Honda Odyssey Won't Start

Asked by raconbacon Sep 23, 2019 at 09:19 AM about the 2003 Honda Odyssey EX-L FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I own a 2003 Honda Odyssey. It cranked up and ran fine 24 hours ago but
this morning my wife went to take the kids to school and turned the key and
nothing happened.

I came home and checked and the battery has power, insert the key and can
turn on the electronics, A/C, wipers, everything powers up. Go to crank the
engine and get nothing, nothing spins, nothing turns over, no clicking or
grinding, zilch.

I was thinking it was maybe the Park/Brake Interlock or perhaps a fuse since
it feels like nothing is getting from ignition to actual starter?

Thanks Ed, I took another look after I got home from work and to rule out the battery I've got it on a charger overnight to make sure it is fully charged so I can try to crank it again in the morning and see if anything happens. Also when I tried it one more time before charging the battery I could hear a faint wine/electrical noise coming from what felt like the drivers side down near the floor? Not sure if that is a relay or electrical and is that a good or bad sign? My own guesses have sorta boiled down to the starter itself finally going bad, the car does have 219k miles on it. Or the ignition starter switch could be bad. I'm hoping it was just battery that had a slow drain not getting enough juice maybe, but if not I'll get it hauled over to local mechanic and see if he can't diagnose it without too much damage.
