Car won't start randomly..FIXED!

fsilvaa · 08-23-2017, 02:34 PM

I want to start off by thanking everyone on this forum. This is one of my first post and I hope I put it in the right thread.

Okay, so for the past year, my nismo 09 would sometimes (rarely) not start on the first push start. I would press the start button and nothing, everything would turn on like normal, it just wouldnt crank up. Over time it got worst, and this week I would be in my car with this heat

going through cycles of pressing on the clutch and trying to turn on my car.

I figured it was a fuse, that ended up in a dead end. So I switched the Clutch switch, it was 16$, easy repair btw, and it turns on on the first try now! I had found one or two threads on this topic but they couldnt seem to find the solution. Buying a new clutch switch fixed it for me. I hope this helps.
