Default Does clifford G5 cause intermittent starting problems?

I have literally checked or replaced all of my starting related parts and i cannot seem to figure this thing out. I have tried 3 starters that were known to be good, 2 ignition switches, had my battery terminals replaced and jumped my clutch switch. I get nothing when i try to start it (no noise at all) just my dash lights. I have already eliminated the main relay since i hear my fuel pump prime. At advance auto parts they hooked this contraption up to my battery that checks starter, battery and alternator and it said everything was good.

I decided to bypass the starter and ignition kill portions of my alarm in hopes that that would be the issue but it still does it. After pulling my hair out i decided to pull the alarm brain out and disconnect all the wires from it which still did not fix the problem so now i am stumped. I did not install this alarm nor have i ever installed one before. Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like possible parasitic draw to me.

You failed to mention that before.

Is your car one of the thousands of Hondas that had an ignition switch recall?

Yeah, I don't read, sorry. I just skim because most people put too much fluff in their questions.

just my resolution for anyone who cares to know.

It was the shity autozone and advance auto starters that were ****ed up (all 3 right out of the box). I got one from napa and haven't had an issue since.

Come to think of it any important part i got from those stores usually gave me an issue upon installation.

Glad you got it fixed, was that part one of the remanufactured ones?

This is one reason I stress when people replace their brake master cylinder to get the $120 OEM one and not the auto store branded ones.

I made sure to get the new one since it only cost $30 more than the reman lol. I have the napa brand but i've heard good things about them.
