Helping out my Pop

I found this forum years ago when I was helping out my Dad with his "88 Vert. He has had a stroke, but still drives. And he loves his Mazda. I've been trying to keep his car running out here in Central Cali. I finally ran into a brick wall with this "click, click, start" issue, and now it won't even start. So, I thought I'd join the forum in hopes of getting some advice on how to keep my Dad's prized wankel on the road.

It looks like it was more of a 'grounding' issue than a 'clutch safety switch' or 'starter relay' issue. Thank you for the support.
