My 1997 mitsubishi 3000gt. The starter will not turn over. I have checked the fuse, the relay switch and the clutch switch (?) And they are all working.

Hi bett1boop,

Have you tested the battery voltage?
Is there a clicking noise when you try to crank?
If yes, give the starter some knocks by tapping it with a mallet and try again. If it tries to crank, the starter is faulty.

If no click, disconnect starter solenoid wire and test for power supply when ignition switch is turned to crank.
If power is available, attach a wire to apply battery current to see if the solenoid clicks or starter cranks.
If starter cranks, the ignition switch or its wire is not providing enough power, weak contact or wire.
