Default starter won't turn

1994 Honda accord LX 5 speed 2.2 MFI

It's had a hard time starting on cold days lately. The engine would just crank and crank but would never fire. looked it up and found that it could be the fuel pump relay. So in a desperate attempt to get home from work, I pulled the relay and tried to warm it up. I also found that its because of a bad solder on the relay. So I pulled apart the relay to see the solder points. After warming the relay, I put it back in to see if it would start.

like an idiot, I didnt put the cover back on the relay. a solder point came across a grounded component, made an spark, and now when I try to start it, the engine doesn't want to crank at all now

so now I'm in an even deeper rut. I turn the key to the start position and just get a single click and no turn of the engine.

any ideas?

Thanks everyone. I'm new here, and created my profile solely for this reason.

Sorry it's the whole shibang but I was sending it from my iPhone. The starting schematic should be on pg 45. Check the blk/white wire @ the starter for power and if its there then you more than likley have a bad starter. If not then you need to work your way back but I'd start with the fuses

You may have fried the relay.
