1997-2001 Honda Prelude: High beams stopped working and ABS goes on and off.

So I went to leave for work and i cut my high beams on. Just as I was backing out the driveway they cut off and wont come back on. The radiator fans stopped working for a short time as well but they've started working again. Also my brake indicator light stays on, my ABS comes on when I go above 15 mph and my battery light stays on… all of this happened today and i haven't had any problems prior. I have checked all my fuses and they're fine and my battery terminals are secure and clean. I drive a standard 2000 Honda Prelude

Okay so, my 98 Honda Prelude will not start. I have the red key for the immobilizer, the starter is good. Changed the connections for the battery, changed the ignition switch still nothing. Changed the main relay switch and still nothing! I can bump start it and it will run beatiful the car just won’t start with the key. Went to a dealership and they told me to put a push start button in, did that and the starter won’t engage. Need help with this! Love this car don’t want to get rid of it! Thank you.
