Ok, I was at work last night and I usually just have to stomp on the clutch a few times and turn the key to start my car, but this time it didn't start, didn't even make a noise to indicate that it would start... I tried this for about 50 times and gave up... does anyone know what this problem could be? It's not the battery because everything in the car is working (CD Player, lights, and headlights) I also need to know if there's anywhere I can find where to find where the starter is, I want to install a new one myself if that's the problem instead of going to the mechanic. Thank you for any info.

There is a switch on the clutch pedal assembly that tells the ECU when the clutch is pressed, since you cannot start a Honda (at least older models) without pressing the clutch in. Check the switch first.

AhHHHH, I have a similar problem in that I get no ignition light in the dash or any other lights(Air-bag, ABS and the key symbol etc) that used to come on when the key is turned to ignition, but other ignition dependent things like radio central locking work. Checked all the fuses both under the hood and in the car all are fine. No spark at plugs either. I've read in the forums about the main relay can this cause the lights in dash to knock out as well as cutting the electrics? And strange another strange thing indicator lights (including hearing the relays) don't work but the hazrd lights work, please help!
