2000 DX. Won’t crank. Horn blows when turning key.

Hello All,

Have a 2000 Civic DX. All manual locks and windows. No aftermarket alarm system. Original radio. Recently had some exhaust repairs done at a local shop so welding was done.. Also had the hood release cable and all belts replaced. After picking up my car I experienced the above referenced conditions. When I try to start it, the engine does not crank and the horn blows instead. I have power to everything else that I can see and hear. The battery is less than a year old. I’ve never had any electrical issues with this vehicle in the past. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Apologies for however that obviously inconvenienced your day on the internet. Thanks for the advice. Not sure the punctuation was necessary but understood. Might you have any advice on the actual issue?

Regards.

Wonder if something got fried when they were welding.

No accident damage?

Sooooo your car is not driveable and stuck in the parking lot of the shop that worked on it.
Did you ask them what went wrong and why you can't even start it now?

You drove the car to the shop, you probably shouldn't have to call a tow truck to take it home.

Didn't inconvenience me too much but the few minutes I had to offer assistance was used up by deleting your other two threads of the same subject. Just trying to get you the help you would like and not clutter up the forum. Sorry if my exclamation marks upset you.

Might you have any advice on the actual issue?
So you drove it away from the shop or are you still there? Sounds like the shop missed something.
