It will push start w. no problem. I checked the starter and it is fine. when i turn the key in the ignition, i hear an unusual "Click" sound from inside the glove box area... is there a relay or something in there that could have gone bad?
i also checked the clutch switch and it is not loose. should i try to bypass it? if so, how do you bypass it?
any other suggestions? i think this has to be ignition related.... thansk for any help!

there is a relay located in the drivers side kick panel, remove the scuff plate and there are 2 pins holding the kick plate on, just use your fingernails to pull the center out, and they should pull right out. it is a blue connector right inside you should be able to see it its the only relay in there. be sure its connected tight. if thats connected make sure. the only thing you need to do to check the clutch switch is check for continuity with a multimeter. there should be continuity when its depresses none when its out. I had similar problem. the ignition system is extremely, and it only consists on one relay one switch, the solenoid on the starter and a few fuses. hope this helps

if its not cranking at all then theres not much more to check other than the ignition switch, the starter cut relay in the drivers kick panel, the clutch switch, and the 3 fuses (120A Main, 40A B2, and the 15A Engine). you can bypass the clutch switch with a jumper but its better just to do a continuity check with a multimeter

are you sure your battery isn't just shot or has bad connections?
