No power after changing a motor mount?
Yesterday I switched out my busted upper driverside motor mount with a new one and after getting it in my car isnt starting. It seems as though its not getting any power and i know the motor mount has nothing to do with anything relatively close with the power. I looked around and didnt see any wires in that area and. This makes no sense and even talking to my mechanic he has no idea why that would happen. Any advice or things to check would be helpful.

Not sure if it's similar in a Honda, but I had a similar issue on our Mazda3 a few months ago. I was changing out two of the motor mounts, and the starter wouldn't turn when I was done.
After calling a friend who's a Mazda tech, he had me check the wiring connection at the starter. He said it's a common problem they see where it gets bumped or shifted while the engine is being moved around a bit during the motor mount installation, and it's enough to disconnect it or have some dirt fall into the connection. I unplugged it, cleaned the terminal, plugged it back in, and the car has started fine ever since.
Maybe a strange coincidence, but it might be your problem, too.
