u gotta get under the dash.there is 5 FAT wires runnin from the key ignition to the fuse box. u might not see it cuz it's cover in shinnny rubber hose loookin. at one area it'll be exposed. u'll see that one of that fat wire been cut and butt connected to another wire or tape to another wire. honda accord starter wire i believe they are black with a white line on it. follow that wire. u'll see it been cut. u gotta reconnect it back to the other black/white wire so it can be back to it's factory setting and the car should start.

hey guys i have factory alarm from 93 works great and all but my key fob it busted in the corner and falls apart and shit it sucks, anyone got any ideas as to getting a new system that is factory and will work? i checked honda about a new fob, they said it's $56 but you can't buy them anymore. so now what? keep it until it breaks and locks my out of car and kills it so i can't start it or upgrade to aftermarket? really don't want to hack up too much wiring if ya know, tends to lead to problems i don't want to deal with later on.

does it crank at all? is it a stick or an auto?

when u took out the alarm, the wires that went to the main ignition harness did you re-connect the starter wire? if you look you will see either the wires are tapped somehow but then you will see one wire that is actually cut in half and bypassed....if u re-connect that to where its together again then it should start.

if its a manual, and everything checks out check out the little clutch switch that senses when the car is going to be started and wants the clutch down...sometimes that goes bad too.

i think the starter wire is a black and white....

THE CAR IS A 96 HONDA CIVIC DX...IT'S MANUAL...AND I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THAT WIRE....AND THE WIRE TO THE THE IGNITION IS NOT CUT OR SPLICE OR ANY WIRES CONNECTED TO THAT.....AND.....I TRIED TO START THE CAR DIRECTLY FRM THE STARTER...THE STARTER STILL WON'T ENGAGE...NOTE*CAR THE IGNITION WAS IN ON....I RECONNCETED THE WIRES THAT WERE CUT AND SPLICE UNDER THE STEERING COLOUM....AND THE WIRE FOR THE STARTER IS SPLICED OR BYPASS.....EVERYTHING IS BACK TO NORMAL....SO I WANTED TO CHECK IF THE STARTER WORK....I TOOK OUT THE STARTER AND I PUT IT ON MY COUSINS CIVIC AND IT STARTS UP FINE....ARGHH....I REALLY HATE ELECTRICALS......

with the key on, tag the white wire to the starter wire that has been cut in half...does it start?

do you have 12 volts at the starter itself?

all ur fuses good? is ur starter fuse in the car burnt or even there?

[accordztech]

...oh yea and did u find the switch on the clutch? u should see the clutch itself, then look up and u will see a 2 pin connector connected to it, thats ur clutch switch....sometimes they go bad, or just get stuck.
