I went to start it and I heard a click and everything died. nothing works at all. I have a brand new battery and drove the car an hour before and it started fine. What could be wrong?

It sounds like you have a lose battery terminal connection (the wires that attach to the battery. Try to move the wires, if you can one is loose and is the cause of the problem.
Either the terminal was not tightened or it needs to be replaced. It is a couple of dollars to get a new one!

Yes it could be any one of these things that everyone has told you about. I will some it all up for you. How new is the Battery? Could be bad connections at the Battery. Could be bad Ignition. Could be a bad starter. Could be a bad Alternator. Could also be a loose wire at the Starter. Could be a bad Fuse. Also check and make sure that whoever changed the Battery, cleaned the battery Terminals before they put your cables back on. And last did you leave anything on that could have Drained the new Battery down.

If there are no lights when you are on the second click of car ignition, check the battery connections. If you just bought a new battery, the lights should at least come on. All lights on the dash board. Whee the oil check light is at. Just check the connection.
EDIT: To add to the person above me. If there is rust(chalk), you need to just brush it with a wire brush to get off the chalk. Make sure the medal is touching medal.

starter ground cable nut needs to be tighten ..also that is a very very expensive area of a car the price tag of starter are any where up to 265.00 @each and the labor on top. so it is an area of expertise. if you tighten the hot side it is subject to being done with the battery off(discount one battery cable completely from the battery) and and it is done with two wrenches, if they turn it with one wrench it usually breaks the field electrical connection on the inside of the starter and this is in the realm of who does the work but it sounds like if the battery is fresh and hooked up real tight you go to the next part and that's the starter

I would check the battery cables. If the battery was recently replaced, maybe one of the cables did not get installed correctly.

You need to be more specific. What year and model is your Honda? Why did you replace the battery?

Have someone check to see if the battery terminals are clean and tight. Vibrations could have loosened the terminals if they were not installed correctly.

sounds like a simple electric problem, get a tester and search for the point where you have a loose connection
good luck
I feel with you: my transmission split last week and I never knew how much I depended on a car until now...
