Sounds like a dead battery. Try jump starting the car. A failing starter is the next suspect. Hope this helps.

A weak battery may not have the juice to crank the engine over. Leave that voltmeter on and see how low the voltage drops when you try cranking. My money's still on that battery.

Also, the battery voltage will not INCREASE when there is a load placed on it. In fact, the voltage will DECREASE with load.

A good strong charged 12 volt car battery should be 12.7 volts at rest. With your honda running you should see 10 volts maybe more if its a low battery and its trying to charge it.

the 11. somthing volts after charging usually means a dead cell inside the battery.
