Hello, my car lights will turn on but I cant get a click or turn over. I used a millimeter to check the battery and fuses and both are good. But when I took out the 100 fuse in the engine the millimeter almost went to 0. Is that because it's a bigger fuse than the rest or is that fuse bad Mechanic's Assistant: Does the battery look like it's leaking? And does it have a strong smell -- like sulfur? I just replaced the battery a couple days ago after this problem started So its new Mechanic's Assistant: What is the model/year of your Honda? 2008 Honda Civic Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Civic yourself? What have you tried so far? I am so far just checking the fuse, the battery. Can I post a picture of the fuse in question somehow? Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? That when I turn the key the radio goes off but the engine won't click

Hello my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* will be helping you today, I am sorry to hear you are having issues with your car i hope i can help you get it fixed. It sounds to me you have a bad starter if your battery is good. but to make sure have the battery load tested. If you need any more help please let me know.

Can you look at this fuse to see if its bad
Automotive Expert
Do you have a ohm meter on your volt meter?

Can you look at that picture
Automotive Expert
its looks okay but i cant say for sure with out holding in my hands with a ohm meter you can test it

When I tested all the fuses the metter stayed the same,when I pulled out the 100 fuse it dropped to almost 0.If it is the starter would there be a code from the code scanner?
Automotive Expert
that fuse is the main fuse it protect the alot of circuit's pulling that fuse will take power from almost everything on the car. No a bad starter will no set a engine code.
