2018 Honda Civic SI Sedan - US Model
~43000 miles
Warranty expired in March
Back story: 2 weeks ago, battery died to the point where I couldn't even unlock my car via the physical key, key fob or the button on the door handle. I called Progressive Roadside Assistance (Warranty expired in March) and they sent someone out to who use some inflatable tool and a rod to unlock my car and they then used a battery booster to give my car a jump and all was well.
Fast forward to today, my car sat for 3 days while I was out of town. Got back today and same thing happened. Another call placed with Progressive Roadside Assistance, another inflatable tool and rod to get my car unlocked and a jump and I was back in business. So I decided to go grab a battery from Napa since it's down the road from me, installed the battery and now my car won't start at all. When pressing the Push to start button to start the car, the dashboard displays every warning possible and I can hear a click when the car tries to crank. All of the interior lights work, the door locks work, the headlights work, etc.. The Radio does NOT power on. I even put the factory battery back in and the results are the same. I did try to pump the brake based one a thread I read here but that did not work.
I'm at a complete loss here. I basically have a paperweight in my drive way right now. Does anyone have any ideas on what the heck is going on here and how I can fix it? My next step is to have it towed to Honda tomorrow but I wanted to at least see if anyone else has any thoughts as to what is happening. I've had 6 Hondas over the years and this has completely soured my taste for Honda. I understand that if the battery is dead, the key fob won't work. But even the physical key? That's insanity.
Anyhow, thanks in advance for any help that may be provided.
