Haven't done that Gen Civic for a while. Don't do too many manual transmission vehicles, either.
Basically, you will find two switches and connectors at the top of the clutch pedal. One is to turn off the Cruise
Control and actuates at the beginning of pedal movement. The other is the starter interlock and actuates at the
bottom of pedal movement. You will need a Digital Multi Meter to determine what type of signal is present and how
the switch works. On Honda's, it is typically a low current signal getting passed through the switch when the pedal
is fully depressed. Onced you determine what is there, you can bypass accordingly.
Here is some info that came up with a quick search.
1.) "To bypass the clutch temporarily, apply a low current negative trigger, such as status,
to light-green wire at the switch."
2.) https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/file.asp?ID=1137
The first one sounds correct and can be bypassed easily with a direct connection of the (-) 2nd Status or
(-) Ignition output signal from the Viper.
The second option, using a (+) Clutch Bypass wire at the front of the Fuse Box, I have never tried. That diagram
does give you the location of the Parking Brake wire, Brake wire, Tach wire and Door Pins. I would use the (-) Parking
Light wire at the Headlight switch.
Please test and verify all of this info with a DMM before making any R/S connections.
If the clutch wire you grounded is Light Green, remove the added switch and connect the Viper signal (-) 2nd Status.
To get into Reservation Mode the Viper has to see :
Parking Brake
Brake
Door Trigger
If you haven't connected the Door Triggers, that is probably the reason. The Door Status wire will allow the Viper Alarm to monitor the doors and you need it to get into Viper Programming Mode.
Soldering is fun!
