car won't start

My son has a '93 Accord. It has a starting problem that seems to only
occur in the morning. Each morning when he goes to start the car, he puts
the key in and nothing happens. The motor doesn't turn over, the dash
lights and radio don't come on, but the interior lights come on and the
headlights will work. When we come back to it around 3 hours later it
starts right up like nothing was ever wrong with it. I though it my be
the battery, so I replaced it, still have the same problem.

Hi

Check the fuse (I think) labled "IGN" -- One side goes to the main fuse,
which couldn't be the problem because your lights still work. The other side
goes to your ignition switch (where you insert your switch). While the fuse
is not blown (you mentions that it will start eventually), it could be that
the fuse holder contacts are corroded or bent too much and don't make
contact.
If you see 12V passed that fuse and it still doesn' start, I'd check the
wiring to the common connection of the ignition switch or the ignition
switch itself.

Hope this steered you in the right direction and you find the problem soon.
