I have a '89 Civic DX. It was heavy rain today but drove fine several
times during the day. Later I tried to start it but there were no
lights on the dashboard at all, no fans, no lights, nor would it start.
Battery is new. Any idea where I should start investigating?

Thanks,
Ari

....not so. This sounds more like a bad connection at the battery posts.

Yup - same here.
Also be sure to check the cable going from the battery (-) to the
frame.

Make sure you still have a battery.

Thank you for all your answers - funny too. Cables are on the battery
posts. I tried to track the negative cable from the battery and up to a
point it's fine, then I couldn't see. I'll let you know what the
mechanic makes of it.
