Occasionally, when I start my car my radio is off and my brake light stays on (even when E brake is not engaged) and my clutch clicks when pressed. usually I restart it and everything goes back to normal but this time I pressed on the clutch and my whole car died, I tried restarting it but it just cranks / turns over. the radio, my windows and every thing on the dash is out speedometer, rpm gauge ,etc. When I try to push start the car It just sounds makes a low hum like it's trying to start but it just doesnt have enough gas or something. I figured it would be the fuel relay. IDK the clutch killing my car kind of confuses me. any suggestions?

First thing i would check is battery connections..check for corrosion..battery leakage. If it looks good, have the battery tested. If battery tests ok, have it recharged and then try to start the car again and this time using a multimeter test the charging system.

I just got the battery a couple months ago so I figured it would be good(although I will still test it and check for corrosion) I already tried disconnecting and reconnecting the battery and nothing happened. My interior and exterior lights come on and my ignition still beeps when key is left in.

test your charging system

ah, It seems it is the distributor. The coil isn't putting out any spark. I am going to get one and see if that wont fix the mishap

Actually, My distributor is getting no power.

I checked the MAP sensor and It gets no power. My door locks have power but my windows do not my speaker gets power but my radio does not. What would be the next thing I check .. would it be the ECU? also most wired under my steering wheel gets no power.

I regret to inform you that you're car maybe haunted. See if you can get a voodoo shaman to come and perform an exorcism.

Are you checking with the ignition on ? It's switched power to those items so you will only have power going to them with the ignition on.

Jmorgan

Yeah, i am checking with it on and off. my fuse board underneath my steering wheel gets no power either. Yeah, maybe it's the ignition or starter maybe there is a damaged wire. that would make sense on why it died when i pushed the clutch in. or maybe water damage?
