1996 Hyundai Accent Manual
----------------------------------------------------------------
'96 Accent won't start unless clutch is pressed in real hard, released and pressed in hard again (maybe 2-5 times). About 10 years ago when we got our brakes serviced this started happening. I can't remember if they said it was a "safety switch, or safety sensor" but something to that affect. Anyway, with our limited car knowledge please tell us we can fix this ourselves. The husband and car don't get back 'til late Sat. evening and everyone's closed this holiday weekend. This is his work car, would appreciate any info. you can give. Thank you.
