Default honda FIT 2015 won't start

Hi,
I have a 2015 Honda FIT. It is a keyless start. Today when I tried to start it all I heard was lots of clicking. Battery seems fine because lights and radio work just fine. This happened one other time several months ago and I read to hold the key close to the start button and it started. That didn't work today. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

welcome to the forum. battery is fine, the connection to the battery terminal needs cleaning. remove the terminal and wire brush clean the terminals. purchase battery post cleaner at auto parts store. besure you have the radio code before you disconnect the battery.

forgot to mention, about 3 yrs of age, your battery may need replacement. I have an 07 Fit, on my 3ed battery, and 255k miles.

Like Acmech said,the terminals being dirty is the #1 problem ,pull the cables,clean them good and apply a battery terminal sealer,it comes in a spray can.
