Default 2003 Honda S2000 won't start

Hi, I just recently bought a 2003 Honda S2000 107 thousand miles. I drove it today and everything was perfect. I got home showered, ate and all that. Then when I went to go start the car to go to work, it would not start. I put the key in the ignition. Everything turns on but when I press the push to start button it would not start the car. No clicking sound or anything when I press. Would you guys know why this is happening? Thank you

Did you accidentally leave any electrical device on?

Could be a few things. Bad battery, bad starter, or clutch switch not engaging fully when clutch is pushed down. Battery would be the first suspect.

Check wiring to starter solenoid. Maybe loose. Grounding wire from engine to body. Grounding wire from battery to body. Tight and clean?

Maybe, it's a bad solenoid or starter.

Do you hear the fuel pump turn on when you push the start button?

Is there a clicking sound coming from the dash when you push the button?

If there is no clicking at all, sounds like an ignition issue. Usually you'll hear the clicking from the dash even if the starter is bad (in my case the fuel pump would engage and clicking from dash, but starter was stuck)

Do you have any power at all? Have you tried push starting it? Way too vague to even try and help.

Can you push start it? If so, it's your starter.
