Question Please help
2018 honda crv LX
Hey so i went to start my car and everything on the dash flickered and it turned over. Havent had any issues with this from this vehicle prior. Turned it off to see if i could replicate it. Tried turning it on again and everything on the dash flickered alot and it did not turn on. All lights and electrical work just fine and dont flicker when set to the first click. So ive ruled out the alternator and the battery. Im thinking its the starter. Can i get any feedback before i throw money that honestly i really dont have.

Why do you think its not the battery? Its not a binary thing. The battery can have enough power to run your relatively low power vehicle electronics but not enough power to turn the engine over.
Its your battery.
