Feeling stupid and need help....
Just got my FD back from the shop yeaterday. I was all silly happy because it hasn't been running in over 4 years. Drove it home an hour and a half from the shop and all was perfect!!! Drove it all day!!
Well....this morning I get in it to show off at work ... turn the key ... and NOTHING!!!
Doesn't start!
All the power comes on... radio, lights, sensors, ... But when I turn the key to start it nothing happens. Lights don't dim... No clicking... just nothing...
Since I haven't driven it in years, I was wondering if there was something stupid that I missed...
Any Ideas??? Even VERY simplistic ones....
I would really not like to have to get it towed an hour and a half away back to the shop I just drove it home from!!!
Thanks....

Wishin I Still Had The FD
This happened to me as well. In my case, it was an extremely dirty connection at the negative battery terminal. I celaned the terminal, bought a new clamp, and it never happened again.

If you're not even hearing a click, it's probably your clutch switch. If you follow the clutch pedal up, you'll see a place where it bows out and there's a switch behind there. There should be a little plastic insert on the pedal that depresses that switch when you push the clutch in. If it's missing, that's your problem.
