I did an oil change on my 93 Honda accord and now my car wont even attempt to turn over. The starter doesn't engage. Its as if I tried turning the key without pushing the clutch in. The car started fine before I did the oil change as I drove it up the ramps. I checked the fuses and they are all fine, I tapped the starter and still nothing, I checked the wires around the oil filter and didn't see anything disconnected

THERE A SMALLER DEALEE THAT PIGGYBACKS THE STARTER (STARTER SOLENOID)

3 WIRES ARE ON IT

1) CABLE OUT OF THE STARTER TO BOLTED TO ONE BIG LUG

2) ANOTHER BIG CABLE THAT TRAVELS TOWARDS THE BATTERY BOLTED ON THE OTHER BIG LUG

3) THEN THERE IS A PLASTIC CIRCLE WITH A SMALL "SPADE" INSIDE OF IT BESIDE THESE BIGGER LUGS

SEE IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY SNATCHED THE FEMALE CONNECTOR (ON A SMALLER WIRE) OFF OF THIS "SPADE"

RETURN WITH A GRIN!
