i just got a Honda Accord 2010 coupe. my question is why will my car not start or even make a sound? When I open the car door the lights inside the car are very dim. My key is barely able to move the locks so I have to do it manually. I'm asking because i called the dealership and they say they are on their way but theyre taking forever andi just wanna know what it could be. the only thing that turns on is the vsa light, airbag light, and brake light. When I press the brake those light dim out. 1 Answer
