No power to clutch safety switch so it won't start. It will start if pushed to start. Can't figure out what's wrong already replaced the clutch safety switch.

GRABBED A DIAGRAM FROM "PRODEMAND"

IN ORDER TO GET IT I HAD TO MAKE 2 SCREENSHOTS (WE HAVE PERMISSION)

THE 1st IS THE UPPER HALF, THE 2nd IS THE LOWER HALF (WHICH OVERLAPS THE UPPER)

"AT" IS AUTOMATIC TRANNY

"MT" IS MANUAL TRANSMISSION (AS FAR AS FOLLOWING THE DIAGRAM)

AT THE TOP, THE IGNITION SWITCH SHOWS 2 "HOT" FEEDS, DO YOU HAVE 12 VOLTS ON EACH?

THE YELLOW WIRE TO THE CLUTCH SWITCH SHOULD BE HOT

IF NO JUICE IS THERE, IT'S A PROBLEM FROM ABOVE IT

HOW ARE YOU TESTING THIS?

IF YOU HAVE A 12 V TEST LIGHT, YOU NEED A GOOD GROUND FOR THE LIGHT

SAME GOES FOR A VOLTMETER!

YOUR TURN
