99 Civic EX - No Crank No Start
Hello,
I have a 99 Honda 5 spd manual Civic EX which ceased cranking this afternoon. For the first time in its 15 year life, it has a mechanical problem. The engine won't crank at all; no noise, no clicking - starter is good, fuses look good, headlights come on normal (not dim) dash lights... everything is normal in the on position. When I go to start it's as if I'm not pushing in the clutch (which I am doing.) Dash, dome etc do not dim when I try to start. It will bump start (Push and and start in second gear while rolling) engine runs great and smooth. I also did a test of the clutch engage switch (?) by placing a paper clip between the wires with still no change. Apart from a battery, any other suggestions of things I can try?

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

There are 2. One is for the computer, the other is for the starter.
Rubber bumper is gone off the clutch pedal and can't push the clutch/starter safety switch?
GIS starter wiring diagram, looks close.....Get your volt meter and have fun!

Thought there was only one switch (oops) found fragments of a bluish purple material and actually thought I had walked on a crayon - I see the pad for switch B and it's the same material... Looks like the pad for switch A has fallen appart. Horrible Orlando FL heat is killing all the rubber parts on this civic...
