I recently purchased a 1995 civic and the car would die if I did not hold the key. I then bought a switch and replaced it and cut the wires for the alarm to put back in. The car will not start not and none of the lights on the cluster go on. What could be the problem?

Here is what I have checked:
Battery 100% working
Disconnected Alarm
Checked for continuity refering to diagram ALL MATCHED!!!
Checked plugs

I have no idea why this is not working. Please help me out guys.

please explain further.... I bought another switch. The key part is fine, I can turn the white piece with a screwdriver

 

cmon i need answers

 

When i install alarms in these i use the wires on the back of the fuse box for the ignition kill.

Look around for spliced wires.

Does it get Spark?
Does it get Fuel? (can you hear the fuel pump when you turn the key to ignition)

the alarm is disconnected and the wires are put toghether.

There is no power and the car doesnt crank. Nothing Happens. No cluster lights come on. I am sure the battery is fine because I have charged it and my headlights and whatnot work.

 

help me

 

did you check all the wires? connecting to the ignition? do the tumblers not turn?

I took apart the looming on the harness adn ran each wire seperatly to be positive that they were all connected

The tumbles turn fine. I can turn the switch with a screwdriver fine. I also sanded down the contacts on the switch.

 

what type of switch did you install? are you saying that it's now a push button start?
checkall the relay's?

Does not Start
Does not crank
Cluster does not light up
The switch is pretty much not functioning even though it has continuity in the right positions. Belive me I am so confused and pissed I have spent like 15 hours trying to get something done

 

I hate electronics and wiring

 

any suggestion? wire diagrams?

 

I got another switch today and hooked it up and NOTHING!!! I have checked all the fuses. What could be causing this a short?

 

alarm relays maybe?

 

o man 10 more hours 0% progress I do not know whats wrong

 

What ended up being the cause???
im having similar problems.
