Hey guys.
So here's the deal...I finally finished my dash conversion in my civic, only to find that my car will not start...in fact it won't even crank. I have power to all my other functions though....gauge cluster, headlights, etc. I'm trying to figure out what I changed.

As I have thought about what it could be, something popped into my mind from when I was removing the plastic cover pieces around the steering wheel. On the bottom steering wheel column cover, I found a small black button protruding from the plastic. Out of my own curiousity for what it was, of course I pushed the button. Nothing happened, so I figured that it was just some useless button...

Could this be a kill switch? I have an older viper alarm in my car, and it seems like this could be the reason my car won't start. I don't know hardly anything about kill switches, so I'm trying to find out what I can.

I would really appreciate your input.

Thanks

 

does it make any clicking noise at all, listen carefuly.

 

if its a small push button, that's the valet switch.
push it in then at the same time try 2 start the car while holding it in.

 

Ok I'll try that.

What is the purpose of a valet switch?

 

Ok that didn't work...still nothing at all, not even clicking
