Default S2000 won't start

Okay, this is my first time posting here as I recently bought my first S2000 (a 2001) ...Today I was driving and the EPS light came on, so I shut the car off and when I went to turn it back on, it wouldn't start...I managed to push start it earlier and I drove it around for a while but when I parked at my apartment it again would not start...

when I push the start button there is an audible *click* in the engine bay...the battery is good, fuses are good...I thought perhaps it was the solenoid (maybe the ground, or hot wire came loose) however I don't know where that is located to check it...any advice would be much appreciated gents

I determined the battery was good with a voltometer...and you were right that starter is not easy to get at, I finally got it, and the starter is getting power and not cranking at all...so I ordered a new one and that should fix her. Thank you hecash

12v does not mean the battery is good.

I'd bank on bad battery or connection, a bad starter in this car has almost never been reported.

How do your headlights work?

I would turn the key on, headlights on, and wipers on, and fan on. They should all work nicely together.
