wont start
well okay heres my problem the car wont start. now the starter is good i got it tested and it all check out when i turn the key it does nothing but a click from the computer i think if i bridge the starter with a wrench it starts the wires going to the starter look fine i was curious if there was a fuse or quite possibly the ignition i have no clue i need some insight thanks

RE: wont start
Yeah that click is a relay. You may want to unplug your battery for 20 minutes and then try again. Sounds like the either factory alarm or PATS is stopping you, but usually PATS will let your car turn over, so I bet it's your factory alarm or a fuse under the hood.

RE: wont start
ive tried unplugging the battery i was thinking possibly the clutch safety switch which i noticed its a grey box but only has 1 plug into it but has room for a plug next door i was thinking about just bypassing the clutch safety switch all together btw would u know by chance which fuse could be doing this? thanks for your time

RE: wont start
I just hada similarproblem. I got one click and nothing else, but everything else in the car worked. It ended up being a loose ground wire. Thereare twoground wires, onethat goes from the k member and one from the engine wire harnessthat go tothe engine block, near the oil filter (they're both on the same stud). If I remember correctlythey are actuallyattached to the motor mount stud. Check to make sure the nut that holds the two wires on is tight.
