Default checking cel

i was looking through other threads about how to check ur cel.. i found one in the integra forums i jus cant find the thing that houses the wires that need to be connected.. this was from he other thread:

"On the passenger side of your car, under the dash beneath the glove box, you will find a green cover above the kickpanel that houses a blue connector that has two wires. "

is it any different because i have a civic??

Wrong, the paperclip trick is how you do it with all of them.

Look in the online resources sticky at the top of this section. It has a DIY with pics on how to accomplish this.

i have a 97 civic.. under the glove box on the passanger side its behind the kick panel ( the panel if u r loooking at ur door, to the left under the dash) youll see a green rubber thing with 2 wires going into it.. pull the blue connecter(that the wires are connected to) out of the green holder. unbend a paperclip and use the 2 ends and stick them into the connecter ( to make a connection between the wires) hint: i used a wire fork from my amp hook up kit..
