Hi everyone, I have just finished my first clutch job. Got it done and even test drove it a few times. The last time I tested it I went back to fire it up and got nothing. I thought it was the starter, had it tested and starter was fine. I havent formally tested the battery but I did try to jump it off hoping that would boost the current, nothing. After some research i found that the ignition switches were recalled on these vehicles so I change it and nothing. The car does absolutely nothing when the key is switched to the I position. Dash lights/fuel pump and a click come on in position II and nothing changes when the key is held in position 3 to start it. Could i have gotton another bad part or is it something in the wiring or the battery after all? Thanks in advanced for your help!

 

First thing I would do is inspect/clean/tighten the battery cables - both. While there it wouldn't hurt to clean the "other" end of the ground cable where it connects to the body and then the trans.

 

is the small wire connected to the starter ?

 

definitely want to check fuses and relays pertaining to starting the vehicle. That would be where I would start.
