Default 1994 Accord won't start

Okay, I've been driving around my car all day, I bring it home, shut it off, then remember I have one more errand to run. I turn over and nothing. Lights, radio, dash etc all work. When I turn the key I hear nothing except a humming sound.

I'm thinking its either the starter or wiring to the starter.

Where is the starter located on a 1994 Accord EX (Automatic)? And where is the main relay and starter relay? If someone had a diagram or something, that'd be awesome as I am pretty retarded when it comes to this sort of stuff but I'd hate to pay a mechanic to do something as simple as clean a wire.

Thanks

sounds like a starter or battery , cables sort of problem, starter is on top of tranny follow positive battery cable ,,try a little test have someone hold the key in the start positon and bang on the starter with a big screwdriver ot a metal pipe if it cranks there is your problem....also make sure all your battery cables are tight and not corroded

man, i had the same problem but it turned out to be the wiring for my ignition which created the need for a new engine wiring harness. But yea, the starter seems to be the problem. Uhm, i suggest a Denso starter, not a Bosch.
