what are you talking about?

you can still use the jumper trick on 92-00 civics and 94-01 integras

 

the paperclip should work. i have a 98Ej6 and my friend has used the paper clip on it numerous times

 

is there 2 certain holes it has to go in or can it go into either top or bottom?

 

your most likely doing it wrong

use a wire its easier to jam it in there good

In the future you should just get this

here.. you may just not be shortin it our correctly

 

hows the metra work the same way? stick the wired end up in the pins.. also is there anyway i couda forced a paperclipo to far or to hard and thats why it doesnt work?

 

when you look at the clip, there should be a distinction between which part you stick the paperclip into. you should see two metal tabs that you can see more of on one side. this is the side you want to stick them into. it should also be easier to slide in than the other side.

 

question: can u mess anything up trying to do this yourself.. i had wire in my hand and i was about to do it them my gut said "Put the wire down before your fry something ".. aother reason was because i have 2 clips to choose from...
