Default civic wont start

wats up everyone. i have a 97 civic ex w/ an auto tranny. the car will not start anymore. when i turn the key, it makes no sound at all so i thought it was the starter and installed a new one but same problem so i guess its something w/ the ignition circuitry eh? im pretty sure its because of the kill switch on my alarm so i disconnected the entire thing, but im not sure if i did it correctly. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks

put it in neutral,

jump the starter wire directly to the battery, see if it turns over

if it does, might be the fuse , ignition switch. something like that.

if not check your grounds and power to the starter.

dead battery? like a clicking noise, due to not enough juice to push the starter?

I've got a starter for an auto if it turns out that's what it is.

that just happened to my car a while ago. It turned out that the ground wire that goes to the tranny was not making a good connection so I put one coming directly from the battery and starts better than ever.
