where is the starter located on a 1996 honda accord?

Krazi

trace the positive (+) red battery cable from the battery to transmission, the positive (+)red battery cable leads to the starter solenoid then on down to starter.

4cylinder the starter is on top of the transmission passenger side and the 6 cylinder motor the starter is on the top of the transmission, side.

Thanks guys! I tried to start it this morning and nothing. A/C and radio came on strong so I didn't think it was the battery. Checked the battery anyway for corosion and there was none. Check the water level and it was fine. The battery is fairly new. I would imagine the starter is the original, as I bought the car second hand. Should I check anything else out before I take the mechanic's word for it? I didn't want to pay for the $75 tow to go 1 mile from my home to the shop, so I asked them if there was a way to start it. They said to bang on the starter and sometimes this would make a connection so that it would start and I could at least get it to the shop. Any other suggestions?

Be sure to test all underhood and underdash fuses with a test light or multimeter:

Personally, I would remove the battery and place it on a charger--then there's no doubt about whether it's good or not. AutoZone will do this for free. Honda starter motors are very reliable.
