I have a '96 Accord. The other day about a mile from my destination, the radiator hose blew. I reached my house, bought a new hose, replaced it and drove it the same night. The next day, it wouldn't start. When I turn the lights on without keys, I get a very quiet warning beep, but that is the only sign of power I get out of the car. This suggests to me a very weak intermittent connection somewhere. It doesn't even try to start.

The battery is new and at full capacity. A jump-start isn't needed and does nothing anyway.

I figure something got wet overnight as antifreeze just took a while to seep into something critical. When I popped the hood after the blow, everything was very wet.

Collateral damage like this is probably relatively common and something cheap and mundane has probably been affected--I just don't know what.

Anyone seen this before? Any ideas, or further troubleshooting steps I should take in order to supply you with more info? Cars are not my forte...

 

Welcome in,it very possible the ignition coils got wet,try wiping done the engine of any visible water,leave the hood open on a dry sunny day that may help.good luck.
