Car won't start !help!
 
It's a 90' Integra, bone stock. (Mom's car)

This is what happens, turn the key to engage the starter, and nothing happens. No clicking, jsut nothing. The battery is fine, the alarm and lights and everything still work. You can hear the fuel pump too....

I'm thinking it's a wiring problem to the starter ?

No starter doesn't engage at all.

I'd first check the battery connectors.. if they're loose and you can turn them it's not tighten.. take them off.. clean them retighten ( optional di-electric grease in between if you'd like )

If thats fine.. I"d check the starter solenoid.. there should be 3 nut/bolts on the starter solenoid ( and 2 of them will have wires ).. one is ground.. one is full time power.. other is switch.. if you find the switch and the full time power.. short them together ( with the car on "on" position ) if it still doesn't turn.. then it's the starter motor.. if it doesn't click.. it's the starter solenoid.

No click = Starter solinoid.

Either no power to it (clean the connections & check battery)

or Solinoid is fried. (replace)
