Hi guys, I have a 93 Accord that will run fine if push started but only clicks once if you try starting it with the key. Also, there is ZERO power going to the factory stereo wiring harness (I've already checked it with a test light and get nothing, even in ACC). All other dash and power functions (lights, locks, etc.) work fine that I can tell, it's just the stereo harness and no ignition...I'm stumped, any guidance would be GREATLY appreciated!

 

Take off the small wire from the starter, & use your test light to see if that gets 12v while someone turns the key to START. (be careful shorting to the big power cables nearby.

FWIW, it sounds like you DO get ignition. Meaning sparkplugs; because it'll run if you push-start it.

 

I'll try that as soon as I get home, thanks! Would that explain the no power to the radio harness as well though? Or does it sound like two unrelated problems?

 

alright, so I replaced a couple of the under the hood fuses and now I have constant power going to the radio and clock; but still no power to the ignition/ACC wire of the radio and the car still won't even attempt to turn over. Just a click and that's it. None of the lights dim when I turn the key, although I'm still going to get my battery checked tomorrow regardless. It seems like I'm just not getting power to the ignition, any ideas?

 

were the fuses missing or were they blown and you replaced them?? constant power to the radio? can you play the radio all day without the key in the ignition?? ...and oh, before i forget, your starter is toast.
