Education these days. Just WOW!!

Like fcm said, get the alarm type and look in your manual to see what the fuse pertained too. Unless it is the alarm fuse.

If it killed your car, then I'd say something with ignition or starter wire. Check your fuses under your hood too.

LOL this kid is funny!

The alarm is a clifford matrix and some how all the that was connected to the brain were fried! I ended up cutting off the the alarm. that fuse is for the alarm. the two wires which he is talking about, is from the floor harness. He posted pics of a totally different wire.. LOL

Manny post pics of the two wires from the car itself.

Now the car wont start. If you turn the key once the radio turns on, if you turn it as if you are trying to start it, nothing comes on.

Get yourself a multimeter. Test these wires to see if you get 12 volts when you turn the key.

Starter wire - BLACK/WHITE - It's in the ignition harness
IGNITION 1 - black/yellow - also in ignition

I'm nowhere near an expert like FCM but if you car doesn't turn over and you have power to your accessories, then it sounds like it is your ignition or starter. Once you find out which doesn't have power, then hook that multimeter to those extra wires. One of those should connect to your culprit.

Here is the wiring diagram for your accord.

When you say "nothing comes on" what exactly do you mean, it is normal for the radio, [accessories] to stop working when ign. switch is in the start position, but ign. should still be on.

Position 0, everything off and steering locked.
Position I, accessory, radio will work.
Position II, run, accessory and ign. circuits on, [cluster gauges].
Position III, start, ign. on and crank to start, [accessory off].

There are probably 40 Clifford Matrix alarms and remote start combo units, a model number would help.

If engine is not turning over, [cranking to start] the alarm probably had a starter kill relay, [off-board or built in] installed.

Try this, MAKE SURE CAR IS NOT IN GEAR, turn ign. switch to run, [position II] then using a jumper wire with one end connected to the batt. pos.(+) touch the other end to the starter motor solenoids input, thinner of the two leads at the starter motor.

If engine starts, find starter cut relay and remove and reconnect starter wire.
If engine cranks but does not start, find both starter cut relay and ign. cut relay and remove and reconnect the starter lead and the ign. lead.

I would also check main fuses in engine bay fuse box, just in case one got taken out when the alarm wiring shorted out. 94

Gotta be something with the ignition I'm guessing. I'd personally test all the wires to see what is and what isn't getting power. Gotta do the basic stuff first so you know what you are dealing with. Is this by any chance a manual transmission?

If it's manual, it could be your clutch bypass switch. You said you tried jumping the starter but did you do it under the hood directly or just under the dash?

Don't forget to test first

If you did a bypass jump to the starter and starter did not crank then you have...

1- A dead batt.
2- A bad starter solenoid.
3- A bad starter.

Or you did not do the bypass jump properly.

You have checked to make sure batt. has a full charge, right?

One more time, WHAT IS THE MODEL NUMBER OF THE ALARM,
or is that some kind of secret???? 94
