I went out to start my car this morning and turned the key over and nothing so i tried it a few more times still nothing. Well sat there for 20 min trying to get the car to start. After about 30 min of trying it finally turned over took a run to go get gas turned the car off and it wouldnt start had to push start it. Got it home and checked everything out and it turns out that there was no power getting to the solenoid with the clutch fully depressed. So im guessing it has something to do with the clutch safety switch but what....... maybe relays?Bad switch? any other thoughts? need a car soon, any info would be great. Thanks for the help

Have you had a bad clutch master that was leaking?

Next time it does that if it is still doing that. by pass the clutch start switch and see if it starts. All you need to do is use some wire or a paper clip and jump it like checking for codes and turn the key(make sure your in neutral)

If tat is the problem either replace it or keep it jumped and dont leave the car in neutral. Also better for the thrust washers in the engine to start with the clutch not pushed in.
