I still have a few odds and ends to finish but decided to start the electrical in earnest. The wiring diagram that Mia helped me work out along with all the labels on wires is a big help.
So far I connected the fan and the starter. The fan was a slam dunk, the starter however was a bit of a challenge on the Honda side. There are quite a few wires dealing with the starter, the signal goes through a few switches before the signal hits a pair of relays then off to the solenoid. Modern cars have safety and anti-theft systems in place that all need to be satisfied before the starter gets any juice. Things like the clutch must be depressed, the key must be in etc. Some of those can be used as a theft deterrent in my case. Most will be eliminated.
