push button start
I have a 95 civic ex 5 speed manual. I'm putting in a push button
start, but I'm not sure what wires to tap into. I have a test light and
I'm pretty good with electrical, but does anyone know the exact wire
colors to tap into on the ignition. I have my haynes manual, but I'm
not to good a reading these diagrams. If anyone knows the wires it
would help. I already have to button mounted and I'm going to put an
in-line fuse instead of a relay and if anyone knows the exact wire
colors to tap into. it would help thanks.

I no longer have them memorized, but here is how you figure it out for ANY
car...
Stop using a test light! They are only good for circuits that you know you
can safely work on with a load. This particular project a test light is
fine for, but what about your next project? Probe the wrong wire with a
test light and you fry a circuit. When in doubt, use a multimeter.
Under the dash, high up along the steering column you will find a bundle of
wires on the right side of the column. Heavy wires (for under a dash)
usually 10 or 12ga. Check each one for 12v while the key is in the crank
position.
Other wires in that bundle...
Constant 12v - Always 12v
Accessory - 12v in Acc and RUN position, dead during crank (don't want to
power unnecessary items during crank)
Ignition - 12v in RUN and CRANK position (only power what is needed during
RUN and CRANK)
Avoid any wire or group of wires in a yellow wiring loom. Those are
universally used as an indicator of airbag wiring. Short those out (or
probe them incorrectly) and the airbags will pop.

Two thumbs up to Seth. He's right on the money.
If anybody wants a quick snapshot on what the ignition switch wires do, see
the diagrams on this Main Relay page:
http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/mainr...ion/index.html
And see this one for a dissection of the ignition switch:
http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ignit...tch/index.html
A quick study of the diagrams will prove Seth's assertions. Honda calls the
ACC terminal "IG2".
