Question 2009 tsx won't start

I have a 2009 tsx with tech pack. The car suddenly won't start. The dash board lights are on, and there is no sound from engine.

I'm not sure if this is relevant but it is rain very heavily.

Someone please help, is it a battery problem or a starter problem.

Thank you!

Probably.

You've given us nothing to work with and there are a whole list of things that it could be.

Your question is kind of like "my head hurts, is it a tumor or was I shot?"

What happens when you try to start the car? Do the lights dim? Is there any sound? Any recent mods?

Thank you for your reply. The light was off. No sound, and no mods.

You are absolutely right, it is the battery. I called CAA and they changed the battery for me. Everything is good now
