Default So i installed my new steering column...

and what happend? my car turns...and now it wont START! Batteries are fine...everything lights up and work. When i turn the key...i can hear it going "ding dong" but on the 2nd click...nothing cranks? Wtf...i installed this column as carefully as i could without touching anything...


Im thinking it could be a fuse of some sort. I did see some sparks coming from these ignition *****...so i turned off the battery. That's the only thing i could think of...



New column...turns but no start!

Yeah, when i replaced my ignition switch cylinder I had the same problem. It so happens that I didnt unhook the battery which caused the ignition fuse to blow in the engine bay when I installed the new switch. The fuse is the large square green on in the fuse box. Its a little hard to see if that fuse is blown because its a little wierd looking so youll have to get up under there and look close at it. If its not that then it might actually be the switch that is broken. Most honda dealerships usually have new ones which go for about 100 bucks.
