240sx wont start

[DC5RACER]

ok so my car wont start. i know its not the battery. its not the alternator and its not the starter cause ive had them all checked. It will start when i bump start it though so i know its not a engine problem. when i push the clutch pedal in and turn the key i can hear a rely click but the car wont start any ideas on what it could be?.. ps ive checked all the fuses and none of them are blown

Check the little switch that is on the clutch pedal, its the one that wont let the car start unless the clutch is depressed

[DC5RACER]

check it with a test lite?

Put car in neutral, push button in \w hand, while turning key. If it doesn't start then get to testing, that bracket might not be making contact

yeah nothing happens when i push it in. i do hear like a rely click right next to the battery but the car doesnt start ill start testin it now

I had the same problem. The blue relay by the headlights was bad so I pulled it off and cut the connectors off and wired it straight thru. It starts a little softer now but it's probably better for the starter this way anyway. That relay goes bad alot. I tried wiring the switch down by the clutch pedal straight thru to fix it but that didn't work so that's why I knew it was the relay. It's probably the same problem you have cause I heard clicking over there too but no turnover. Well hope that helps.

holy shit i have had the same problem....got the starter checked it was fine....got a new battery...still doing it....so what are you guys suggesting?

my car wouldnt start yesterday and made a wierd noise when i turned the key... but i could push start it... check the starter bolts and make sure they are all the way ion so it hooks up to the flywheel correctly... thats what my problem was at least... sounds the same.

im thinking its either that reley or my terminals that hook up to the battery(not the posts the terminals that are on the harness) are reall f'ed, there like craked in half so im gunna try my friends reley if no good then replacing the terminals

Is your starter hooked up right?

[rocksteady_racer]

Did you try jumping the starter straight from the battery?? That's how I figured out mine was the clutch interlock. It would start straight from the battery but not when in the car. So that's when I just replaced the clutch interlock and it fixed everything. Had the same clicking problem and everything too. All I heard was a clicking near the battery.
