Okay, this one has really aggrivated me so I am hoping that someone can help me figure out the problem and fix it.

I have a 94 civic, manual (5 speed), that was broken into recently. When I got it back the ignition assembly was punched and useless. I went ahead and purchased a new one and put it in place of the original but the car wont start. The headlights come on and when I put the key into the ignition initially the "door is ajar" beep will sound. When I turn the key, however, the instrument panel doesnt light up and the engine does nothing. I have checked the main fuse box for shorts but I don't see any problems and the key "beep" is still active and the headlights turn on so I have no clue what I am doing wrong.

Another note that might be a clue is that the cigarette lighter doesn't get power either, however the fuse is intact...

PLEASE help me out, I need to get this car moved before it gets towed.

I have the same problem i own 93 civic that doesnt start because of a check engine light most civic's wont start if that light is on.

Does the car crank? what about your (CEL) check engine light.

When you turn the ignition switch ON,(DON'T start the car) does the check engine light come on and then go off after 2 seconds? Is there a relay click sound when the check engine light goes out? Does the fuel pump whine for 2 seconds?

Take a test light or a multimeter and test the ACG(s) under-dash fuse. Probably Fuse No. 24.
