Went to start up my 2007 Fit, and it won't start. The battery is 5 years old.

Symptoms: I get a chattering noise when I try to crank the car. The lights will turn on. The windshield wipers move slowly. The radio lights up and then turns itself off.

Battery terminals don't have any build up.

 

You need a new battery

 

Yep, sounds like a battery.

 

The battery swap did the trick.

Of course, I lost the radio code, as my parents had the foresight to throw away the sticker in the glove box as well as the card with the code.

I assume a trip to the Honda Service Center will solve this problem?

Need to pull the radio and get the serial number I think.
