Meeeeooowww!!!!!
im having some electrical issue with my 95 civic.. it doesnt want 2 crank and not all the dash lights turn on when the key is on acc. all other electrical works lights ect. i was thinking ignition switch but that didnt work.. i tested all the wires on the ignition and all of them are getting 12v except 4 1 the black a white wire. which leads 2 the starter and back 2 the shifter switch. (automatic).. any ideas/opinions...
 
At which point in the circuit did you test the voltage on this wire? Before or after the Neutral Saftey Switch. Were you using a test light or multi-meter?

where is the neutral safety switch? and a multi meter..i tested the actual igniton harness from key switch 2 connector on the fuse box..
 
Are you saying you replaced the ignition switch already?

The way you go about diagnosis will be difficult without a multi-meter. To try and locate exactly what your issue is, disconnect the black/white wire on the starter, take a jumper wire from the battery positive terminal and connect it to the black/white wire on the starter solenoid. If the engine cranks ( you should have a multi-meter for this ) check to see if the black/white wire from the IGN SW to the starter solenoid is open.

You can purchase a cheap multi-meter at auto zone for about twenty dollars.
It is the heart of any electrical diagnosis.

If these are not your problems then we look into neutral safety switch diagnosis.
 
i have a multi meter.. have not replaced the ign sw with a new 1.. and i tried running power 2 the solenoid like you said and no cranking..
 
Had you tried tapping the starter with a hammer on the chance it is binding. It's almost easier to take the starter out and have it tested rather than start testing the transmission position sensor.

I am also making the assumption here that you have tested to see that there is twelve volts going to the starter motor.

did all that you said and nothing.. getting 12v got it tested passed
 
Sorry, been out west. Did not get a chance to the internet but for today. Let me know what the problem is if you don't mind.
