Car not starting? Is button broke?

If I may suggest as a temp fix you can bypass the clutch switch by disconnecting the clutch switch and jumping the connection, Its either going to be a negative

If I may suggest as a temp fix you can bypass the clutch switch by disconnecting the clutch switch and jumping the connection, Its either going to be a negative or positive current activating the ignition, But you'd need to know how to use a voltage test light of course, and have some basic electrical experience so you wont fry anything by accident.

But again replacing the clutch switch would be the best way to go if thats the culprit.

Take it apart and clean it... the new (replacement) switch will fail too. Design flaw....

Cleaned mine a year ago and no issus since. Hardest part is contorting your body to get at it!
