Well Im in baton rouge 400 miles away from home and I go to start my car and all the lights on the dash come up but no clicking or anything from the engine. It worked fine hour before i decided to start it earlier today. I even took the battery to the auto parts store and the battery was good please can anyone tell me if it was the starter or a relay i dont know about

I had the same issue. I had to tap the starter with a small hammer or screwdriver. Once u do that, it will spark, but make sure someone can turn the switch after u tap it a few times. If u hear it click, keep turning it and it should start. My car is doing that now. Sometimes it will start on the first turn, sometimes not. Just find u a certified Honda service guy to look at it.
BTW I keep my hammer aka my starter kit in my car, lol.

if you dont hear a click then yeah its probably your solenoid...but it could also be that that your ground is loose or rusty.

Take a jumper cable and go from the battery to the starter. If it starts there is something wrong with the wiring, if it doesn't do what everyone else said and beat it.
