Default Car wont start... Ideas?

Car has been driving fine, Went to start it this morning and nothing. The car has power, evertyhing comes on, but it wont crank and the starter doesnt even click. Its like trying to start the car w/o the clutch in.

Ill be resoldering all of the SAFC wires so I can try and rule that out.

I was also thinking to could be the clutch switch, in which case, how do I go about bypassing that?

go nder your dash and by the pedal assembly there will be the switch. cut the two wires and connect them together and there you go. me personally if it fixes the problem then go by another switch and make it right.

Thats why you cant half ass on anything that is electrical. Hopefully its just the clutch pedal switch. Keep us posted.

I know. Im not the one that installed it though.


I wont be replacing the switch once its bypassed... From what Ive heard its puts stress in the TOB or something. It should be alright.

Ill be sure to post later tonight after Ive done what I said Ill do.

Alright so which 2 wires do i cut? There are the 2 that come off of the clutch switch, but they go to another thing and then 2 wires come from that to the main wiring harness...

Dude All You Do Is Unplug The Switch That Is All No Hassle No Problem Just Unclip And Wala All Done Clutch Bypassed. At Least In 2g

What I Was Told Was That Putting The Clutch Down Pusts Stress On The Crank When There Is Low Oil Pressure Or Something Like That.

Yeah I unplugged it and it still didnt do anything, Im waiting for a friend to get here so I can go ahead and re-wire the safc and solder everything this time.

I need someone to help me push it into the garage! haha

did you try to push start it by popping the clutch to rule out the starter or the starter relay?

No its in the street and I cant push it by myself into the garage, I dont feel like soldering lying in the middle of a road...

If the rewiring of the safc doesnt do it, I will be attempting to push start it to see if its the starter, etc...


I have to fix the stupid shit first.
