if the windows work when hooking to battery, then check the switches and wiring. it may even be a bad ground. I worked on power window a few months ago, and it had a bad ground as not to work. try by running a wire from motor or ground connection to a bare spot on door. if the window works then you can either put in a screw or ground to something on door.
Might not be the ignition switch, it could be the starter solenoid. You need to do some trouble shooting to find out where the problem is and restore it to factory spec
I had same problem, when a door lock broke, the car thinks it has been broken into once the alarm goes off. Mine started going off randomly when this lock broke. You have to reset the alarm system, with my 1990 Acura it was reset finally by putting key in door lock and turning key back and forth 3X. In my car, it was OK to do the key in door lock cycle in the passenger side door lock, but Acura dealer told me not all Acuras will reset it via passenger side key cycling, some require driver door lock key cycling only. I was lucky since my driver side door lock was currently useless, that my car allowed it to be done by key cycle on pass. door lock. But try that and if it doesn't fix it, just call acura dealerships until someone tells you the right answer. In my situation it took 3 dealerships with 3 different answers until this was the right one for my 1990 Legend.
PS I was told you can't disable alarm since it is all integrated into the battery and starting system, but read on another post that someone disableld theirs by disconnecting the horn.
Is it not starting or do you mean there is no spark jumping at the spark plugs?
Your engine is an interference engine which means if the timing belt breaks you can easily bend the valves.
You most likely have bent valves so do a compression check first.If compression is 0 or low you will have to pull the head and replace the bent valves.
Yank the starter relay in the under dash relay box. Check for battery power on terminals 1 & 2 in the relay socket with the key turned to START. If no power, check fuses 31 and 35. If you have power on those terminals, check for ground on terminal 3 in the socket when turned to START. If no ground, the Security system isn't seeing a good signal from the clutch interlock switch or the auto transmission shift console switch. Check those out
If you had to "reset" the timing as you say, there is a chance that major valvetrain damage has occurred and a cylinder leak-down test should be performed to measure cylinder sealing. also there is a possibility the timing was not set according to exacting procedure which sounds like your symptoms. These are interference motors which can collide internally if timing skips jumps.

hello maam
i found this website on fixya, somebody answered my problem by suggesting me to buy this manual online book and it's helped me a lot since I'm very little aware of mechanics. I hope it can help you the same way.. link is here
Hi. Anything over about 300 milliamps is generally to high. illumi sounds like an abbreviation of illumination. with the fuse out try all your lighting, interior lights, dash lights ect. and see what doesn't work. a common problem is boot lights sticking on as they often cant be seen with the boot closed.
