The steering lock is that whirring sound right? yeah I heard that.

It seemed like everything was working fine the car would just not crank. The car kept showing me that picture to put my foot on the clutch, so it was recognizing the key. I tried putting the key in the little keyslot and that did nothing. My battery was reading at 12V. I can't really think of anything else.

Sometimes people think too complicated yet just forget the most obvious things...

Did you actually press down the clutch pedal instead just putting your foot on it?

I had a couple times myself forgot to step on the brake and the car just wouldn't start!
