I don't see it. Look at one of the 'integra starter solenoid' units on
Ebay. It looks like the units are possibly stand-alone, physicaly
removed from the starter. This is a good thing in that it will likely
be easier to access.

Working or not, the solenoid should make a slight metalic 'clunk' when
the key is turned. If not, then an ignition system problem becomes
slightly more likely. Even then, I'd first beep out the solenoid's
input coil and check the wiring around it.

Moderate tapping on the solenoid will often get it to work. If that
doesn't help try this: The classic way of hotwiring (completely
bypassing) a bad solenoid is to turn the ignition on and short the two
solenoid output terminals with a screwdriver. Crude but effective - the
starter WILL get +12v.
