Ya I just recently bought a 93 hatchback civic v-tech and it was driving perfect and everything until I was driving down the road the other day and it made a clicking noise and all my dash lights flickered and it shut down.Then I opened the hood and jiggled the battery cables around got back in and it started right up.But here is the thing I noticed the car will only start when the srs light is on if it is off then it will turn over but not start??????If anyone can help me out at all I would very much appreciate it I'm new with the honda's so go easy on me.lol.

wtf??? clarify lol....

if your car starts when your batteyr cable is "jiggled" then tighten or replace your cable terminal.

and your srs light should always come on when you turn the key to the on position

wtf is right! go to a parts store and have them check your baterry and since your there your altenator. just an idea, but i'm still at wtf.

Ok if I turn the key to start it and the srs light is on the car will start but sometimes when I turn the key to start it the srs light will not come on and then it won't start at all.It's the weirdest thing what could that mean??

waaBAAH

it could mean youre not getting power at all.

then when you get power all is good.

they arent linked so dont think about it...fix your battery cable issue

What's easier? Messing with the airbags or getting your battery checked?

Ok I will get my battery and alternator checked if that's not it could it be a ground wire or something possibly shorting out that would be linked to the srs light or no???Thanks for the help to guys.

As mentioned, start by cleaning and tightening the battery connectors and ground wire. If the cables are damaged replace them. If by some remote chance this doesn't fix the problem, then check the ignition switch.
