Ok im bringing this very old thread back to life.

Long story short, wife's 03 honda civic hybrid would not start and some guy offered to help. He clipped something from underneath the steering wheel column and now my alarm system cannot be armed or the door locks locked or unlocked. The guy did not give back the thing he clipped off. The wife said it was a black little relay looking box. This person did not fix the problem as all the car needed was a jump start.

Here is the picture ...my question what did he cut off? The yellow circle is around the clipped wires which are connected to the alarm? int he picture you can also see the sensor. Ah yes and the alarm is disconnected as you can see in the picture, this is because if its connected the alarm will go off if key is turned to the on position
