1 Starter Relay problem of the 2015 Honda Accord

Failure Date: 11/20/2019

The past month my vehicle will start intermittently. I will turn the key and nothing happens. No click from the starter or nothing. Lights come on. Turn key to off and try again and it starts. Battery and alternator tested good. My guess it is the starter going bad or the starter relay. Car has 75000 miles on it. Obviously car is parked. This occurred 11/20/2019 to present. It is random when it does happen and is happening more often.

3 Starter Relay problem of the 2012 Honda Accord

Failure Date: 03/01/2014

Twice in the last few months my car's engine would not turn over when I turned the key to the start position. It only made a buzzing sound. I returned the key to the resting position and tried again. Both times it started. I took it to the Honda dealer to have it serviced. The technician told me this was normal. (no. It's normal for a car to start when you turn the key. ) he gave me a copy of a Honda "service news article" dated "October 2001" entitled "starter relay buzzes. " it reads, "if you turn the ignition switch very slowly to start the engine, all Honda models except passport have this little quirk: the starter relay buzzes. If your customer complains about it, don't spend your time trying to fix it; there's really nothing wrong. Just tell your customer to turn the ignition switch a little faster, and the relay won't buzz. ".
