Lol. You didn't give much information.

How do you know the battery is good? Did you test it?

How are the grounds? Any corroded/frayed/split wires? Any corrosion on the battery terminals?

Is the starter testing good?

One of the top 3 killers of batteries is cold. The top killer being age. Again, how do you know it is good?

check fuses too, that was my problem, alternator fuse was blown so battery wouldnt hold a charge.

check to see if your neutral safety switch is working . when you push on your clutch the clutch arm
comes in contact with a switch . push that switch with your finger and try turning the key . in neutral of course .

I believe AutoZone, O'reilly's, Pepboys, and Les Schwab all do battery and starter testing for free since, if you are asking, I am assuming you don't have the equipment to do it yourself.

Honda would be able to do it for you as well but I am guessing you are going to have to pay a diagnostic fee.
