hey guys, i am currently having problems with my 92 civic hatch. heres the deal, i was removing the alarm system on my car today and upon removal my car wont start anymore. what happens is that when i turn the key to prime it, all the electrical turns on (heater, fan, radio, the fuel pump, the lights on my dash and pretty much everything you normally see) but when i turn the key to crank it, the entire electrical system shuts off. i checked all the fuses under my dash and they were all ok. then i tried to crank my car again and the same thing happens. i did this twice with no luck. i checked my battery i have full charge on it.

i am very new to electrical components so please dont flame me. i am not sure what alarm system i have installed cuz i just bought the car a month ago. i was taking out the alarm/auto lock system because it keeps on jamming my doors shut and it wont open unless i use the key to do it manually.

any input would help alot. thanks in advance.

sounds like a ground to me, did you remove any in the engine bay?

i'm unsure of any inside the cabin though.

you should ask in the security forum, lots of installers roam round there.

yea it was the ground on my vtec solenoid and also the black/white wire that connects my starter motor was disconnected under my dash. i just reconnected them.

thanks for the help
