Weird clicking noise. Could it be alarm?

hello

Previous owner had alarm set up on my 95 lude. Before he sold the car to me,he cut it off of the alarm system. I hear clicking noise when the car is on from under the steering wheel. Sometimes the car does not turn on. It makes a click noise and does not turn on.
It takes about 3 times to turn it on sometimes. Sorry i'm bad explaining, any input is help. Thank you

He did just cut the wires instead of removing it.

I asked my coworker (best buy car audio supervisor) he told me the same thing. Tonight it felt like the motor was going to blow up trying to start. I guess i will have to go under the steering wheel tomorrow.
thanks for ur input

If you're certain it's coming from inside the cabin, it could be what you're thinking. Another thing that can happen with older Hondas is the wire running to the starter solenoid is not making a solid connection, and I'm pretty sure you'll hear it click when you turn the key, but the starter won't be turning the flywheel.

So how's the car coming along?

I'm for sure its the alarm thingie..

The car is coming along pretty good. Installed my HID last week. I'm picking up some wheels from findlay ohio on thursday (roja lt5 that was posted on glpo.). I'm purchasing the kaminari front and rear lip from safaa, hope to have that installed by the end of the month. I forgot what sides im getting from him, i think its either called value sport or hiro.

I'm still learning with the 5spd, i've been doing pretty good for someone who learned on their own.

My next mod will be sway bar and strut bar. I want to get JDM's but i don't want my HID lighting to be screwed up like safaa and his jdm hid set up lol.

yeah, i completely forgot about those Value Sport sideskirts he had, those are going to look great, I'm finally getting my VS rear painted next week. The car will look pretty good I think with the kaminari pieces and the VS side skirts.

If you want to do a mass swaybar install lol, Phuong wants to put his in, I'm going to get one, so that'll make 3 of us.

I'm actually in Chatham all day Sat. if you feel like making the drive to speed up the process. I'll be there for the 2nr show that was posted on the glpo website. I know it's Woodward so I doubt it but you can come down, check out the show and leave with the bumper. Only about 45 min from Windsor. Like I said it's an option

i was hoping to at least meet up with him this weekend and maybe do the sway bar install on phuong's car, but I'm making a last-minute trip down to Ohio, so that takes care of the entire weekend. Darryl I apologize for the delay, I'll try and ship your molding and speaker covers tomorrow. I think I may have it already, but if you haven't yet, e-mail your mailing address to me.
