Default HELP, PLEASE!

2002 RSX Type- S 6-speed manual trabns. Suddenly, car will not crank, no solenoid clicking, etc. NOTHING when I turn key. Battery new, starter low miles. Headlights bright, Everything else fine. I can not locate starter fuse nor relay to check. Can anyone PLEASE help me? I am desperate!

What about the clutch switch ??? The symptom you are describing is common when the plastic pad breaks off and the clutch safety start switch will not close so that you can start the car. Look for small dark blue plastic pieces on the floor for proof... disc shaped or pie cut shaped... and of course the cone that is pushed through the bracket.

Thank you for your suggestion, but
I already jumped the clutch safety switch. Made no difference. Still, no cranking nor turning over of starter. I am truly desperate now...

I just remembered that the key for my car is a transponder type.I have a feeling that the stinking OBD2 immobilizer module is no longer recognizing the key code.I need to try my spare keys,but if they do not work, I am really screwed. I can not reach m tuner who can turn off the immobilizer in the Hondata programming. He will not send me my tune, so I can not do it....Any ideas?

The car would still turn over if the problem was the Immobilizer... it would just never actually start. What about the starter circuit fuse ???
