1995 Civic EX with B20B engine, manual transmission.

No crank issue. Headlights are bright, battery is three months old. Tried jumping..no change. No clicking sound while key is in 3rd position. Also, while in 3rd position the normal dash lights appear and dissapear with the exception of battery and oil lights which remain lit. Can hear fuel pump engage. Cable terminals are tight on battery and no corrosion present.

Tomorrow I plan to use jumper cables to bump starter directly as described in FSM. I watched a couple videos and read through a few threads: https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-...crank-3043090/ and here are possible suspects (no particular order):

1) rubber stopper behind clutch pedal (A) interlock switch a may have fallen off
2) clutch pedal interlock switch faulty
3) fuse #39 (engine bay).
4) starter cut-off relay
5) main relay (resolder)
6) transmission ground poor or missing contact
7) previous owner installed push button start

Anything I am missing?

Although rubber stopper pieces not found it's missing from clutch pedal. Will replace and if doesn't solve issue then will bypass.
I didn't mention previously...until this issue engine would start with either clutch depressed or in neutral and clutch pedal not depressed.

Starter solenoid positive wire was off. Tightened, reinserted and started right up. Thanks for reply.
