The ignition circuit isn't working, pull it apart and re-check the work you did to it. Also check none of the pins have come out of the plug - if they aren't "clicked" into place inside the plug, the wire/pin can push straight out of the back of the plug. It's not likely the factory will make that mistake, but it's certainly possible.

Why were you removing the switch in the first place and what was the original problem!

If it's the same as mine, the contacts on the switch got worn and dirty and ignition became flakey - would only run if key held in a certain position or was in start postion - buffing up the contacts fixed it.

Mine is identical to the Accord part of the same era - I suspect they're all the same across the model range for that period!

The ignitions in those cars weren't the greatest, mine has had two replacements in its lifetime, wouldnt even bother trying to fix one. If you cant get it working again a replacement is cheap enough.
