I have a 1993 honda civic and all of a sudden it won't crank, The lights come on and when I turn the key the radio blinks off. Could this be my battery or is it the starter?

When you turn the key and it makes a clicking noise, then it is your battery not the starter. Start off by checking EVERYTHING small, such as fuses and unplugging your cd player and then try to start the car.

Have someone jump start it for you then you'll know if it's the baterry or just have the battery checked.

Have the battery checked and if it is good, have starter replaced.

check your battery cables, also check your ground cable make sure its tight, if there getting warm when you try to start the engine you should replace them.
