This is a classic trouble shooting issue. You need to "follow" the electricity by testing that the wiper switch has power, that it turns power on/off, and then that the motor gets power when the switch is on. If that all tests good, the last bits include testing that the motor is properly grounded, and that if you manually turn the motor, the wipers move.

This vehicle is equipped with a chipped ignition system.On your dash warning lights,when turn key into on position you'll notice a yellow key symbal, it should flash then go out. If it flashes then goes to solid on, it means the system does not recognize signal from key. This can be because of wrong key(original valet key will not start car) or key for whatever reason has been deprogrammed. Which can only be done by dealership unfortunately. If system is working(light does go out) then you need to look at possible brake switch sensor,park/neutral safety switch on shifter, and for signal at started when key turned to start position

Did you check to see if you accidentally pushed the VSA button (left side of steering wheel on dash)?

First, in the United States, seat belts have a lifetime warranty from Acura and Honda, if it is defective. If it has been damaged by outside forces, you have to unbolt the seat, 4-14 mm bolts, also unplugging the wires under the seat. The seat belt is held in with 1 14 mm bolt, be careful lifting the seat out the door. I usually remove the plastic door sill so it doesn't get scratched. On some cars I can lie the seat on its side inside the car to do the work.
