I just got my H22 swap done, but I forgot I had an alarm on it that is all jacked up (car came with it and no fob, so valet mode). Well, the alarm kicked back on and I couldn't get it back in valet, so I just removed it. I did disable the battery during the uninstall, but now I can't get the car to crank at all and the main relay is clicking like crazy. I checked all my grounds (battery, valve cover, tranny, and the one that is supposed to be near the thermastat is on the intake manifold on accords). All grounds were good. The relay was getting power and a good ground, so I think it's the relay. The only other symptoms are a voltage drop after I try to start the car. The battery is fully charged. I'm not even getting a click from the starter. Does anyone know what this could be? Main relay or something else?

Oh, the H went into a 94 accord 4 door and the motor came from a CD8 Accord, if that changes anything. Thanks.

 

How exactly did you remove the alarm? Did you just cut the wires and pull it out? Or did you reconnect wires that were cut, etc.?

 

Did you put the battery cables on good and tight?

 

I did take the alarm out right and put all the wires back in correctly. Only the starter wire was cut, all others were just spliced. The battery cables were tight.

I finally figured out that since I have my trickle charger wired into my car and had it plugged into the harness under the car where I couldn't see it, the battery was showing 14v, but as soon as I tried to crank, it dropped to 8 causing the issue. New battery, problem solved.

Thanks for the help
