Intermittent failure to start...

FearlessLeadr · 03-06-2013, 11:16 AM

I've tried with my foot on the brake, taking it in and out of gear, rolling it back and forth, hitting it, sweet talking it, and pressing the button at all different speeds. I've found no rhyme or reason as to when it starts and when it doesn't.

The engine fires immediately every time it cranks, it just won't crank. Like my starter solenoid never engages. I have no mods on the car and it's got 36k miles. I'm almost completely out of ideas. It's also a degenerative problem as it's gotten much worse.

Does anyone know if the clutch switch is just a contact or if it sends a control language? That's the only thing I can think of now, because I tried disconnecting it and bypassing the switch to no avail.

Thanks for the help.
