Default 93 prelude wont start, but battery good and gages wont come on, but headlights will

My problem is that my car wont start, its cranking but it wont turn over. The door beeps when i open it and the lights come on inside and in the trunk, and the head lights and the break lights work when i push the breaks or turn the lights on. But the radio, clock, gas gage, and heat gages wont turn on. I tired jumping it and it seemed to have a little more juice than when not hooked up to another car, but it still wont start. So im thinking maybe some eletrical from simply some sort of relay switch, or maybe even the aternator. I was wondering if anybody can give me an idea of what usually happens when these sort of problems come up? Please reply just looking for a little help here.

Alternator doesn't do anything with starting the car. Do you have spark coming from the plugs?

Don't see how it could crank, and not turn over. It may turn over, but not start. Maybe using the wrong terms.

Inspect the main relay for fault.

same thing happened in my car... I just got a new main relay from honda and replaced a couple fuses that were toast. if your main relay smells burnt its prolly no good. They're like 75 bucks from honda or just go to a junk yard and grab one.

Sounds like you should pay someone to inspect and diagnose your vehicle for you.
