Try taking the battery cables off and cleaning them, then try it again. |

how do the cables to your starter look? if theres no power to the starter take a electrical tester and find the point where you arent getting power |

alright sent you a PM but incase you didnt get it.... the small wire would be the neutral safety switch correct? the neutral safety switch may be out of adjusement.. its under the housing near the shift lever |

no then you would have a clutch interlock that prevents you from starting the car without the clutch engaged fully look around your clutch pedal and see if you can find it i think there is 2 switches the interlock switch would be the one with the long plastic tube looking thing you can bypass it to test but i wouldnt recommend keeping it bypassed if thats the problem since you could run over someone when trying to crank the car if you forget to depress the clutch i should have asked if it was a stick or automatic my bad :bang: |

do you have an aftermarket alarm with starter disable? i've seen 2 cars where the starter disable function stopped working, something went wrong with the brain. |
