No start

Hi guys, got into my FD this morning and it would not start. No power going to starter at all, no click or nothing. After a few seconds, the dash lights came on and and I tried to crank it and it sounded like a relay was clicking? Anyone ever have this issue? Please help?

The clicking is normal. Sounds like something got your battery. The starter requires more amps than the rest of the car, so it will often not work, while the lights come on.

My ****** clutch switch is going out. This is the switch that makes you depress the clutch pedal to start the car. I have to puss the clutch in and out a few times to get the car to start. But I agree with every one, sounds like a low battery. Also my buddies 7 battery dies sometime (mostly on long sits) due to the gloove box not closing all the way and this leaves the small light on. Again this takes weeks to drain the battery enough to not start the car. All things to watch out for.
