Hey guys new guy here, also my first honda. I have a 94 accord 2.2 that I just bought and i drove the car home started tearing apart the dash to replace some panels and now the car wont crank at all now it just clicks all thr time. It has a new starter and battery and im getting power to the trigger wire and nothing happens so if you have any advice I would appreciate it thanks.

 

1. Did you disconnect wires etc. on both sides of the dash or only one side? If only one side, which side?

2. Was anything in the engine compartment disconnected?

3. What do you mean by "trigger wire"?

4. Have you checked all connections at the ECM and under-dash fuse box? Are ground bolts reconnected?

5. Does the Check Engine Light come on for a few seconds then go off?

6. Is there power at the under-dash fuse box?

7. Are there any trouble codes?

8. Does the car have an aftermarket security system?

9. Do you have a multimeter to perform testing?

 

1.the dash its self is still all torn apart so, center counsel everything

2. Nothing in the engine compartment was disconnected

3. Trigger wire the the wire that goes to the starter when your key is in the start mode when your trying to start the car.

4. I went through all the fuse and there ok.

5. Check engine light doesn't come on at all

6. Yes there is power under the dash box

7. I dont have a obd 1 to check the codes with

8 I dont know to much about the car but I dont think so

9.Yes I do

Also were are all the grounds in the car and. Will the radio disconnected effect it all

 

Check the voltage on the "trigger" wire to the starter solenoid. Low voltage to the starter can cause "rapid clicks".

 

Well starter spins now. it was a bad ground cable but its engaging just not catching the flywheel like I said I drove it home last week so I know the engine isnt seized.

 

Could still be an issue with the cables - check the positive one if you didn't already.

If the starter is spinning but not spinning the engine you might want to pull the starter and have is tested. You might be able to clean and re-lube the starter "bendix" if it is sticking.

EDIT: this still could be an issue with low voltage......so if you are going to get it tested, you might as well pull the battery and have it tested at the same time.

 

Battery tested good and starter is good got goof power going to the starter. Getting frustrated dude.

 

Finally got the dame thing it was not in all the way by like 4mm. Thanks for all the help though
