The problem I'm having is that when I turn the key, clutch in or clutch out, nothing happens. I'm pretty certain it's the clutch, not the ignition system itself, because this problem started after the clutch pedal got stuck in, so I pulled it out. It depresses and springs back fine now and hasn't gotten stuck again at all.

The first obvious issue I'm seeing is that the clutch pedal isn't hitting the clutch switch. The little rubber stopper that's there on the accellerator and brake pedal simply isn't there, so the clutch never presses the button to tell it that it's engaged.

Unfortunately, I don't think that's the root of my problem, because the ignition is doing literally nothing at all (no engine sound, no starter, no lights, nothing) even though the headlights come up and turn on no problem, so it's definitely NOT the battery.

My current plan is to replace the stopper that depresses the button on the clutch switch (15-7 item 14 of the FSM)....but that's really all I have to work with so far and I don't think it will solve the problem, because I've tried just pushing the button down, then releasing the button, disengaging the clutch, and turning the key to no avail.

I've been pretty confident about my ability to work on this car up until this point, but this has me totally baffled. Any ideas as to what I might be able to do to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

 

Just jumper the clutch switch as a test.

However if you aren't getting anything out of the ignition switch, there is another problem. Do none of the positions work, such as accessory?

If not, then refer to the FSM for the wiring around the ignition switch and verify that you have 12V at the battery feed. If not, then check the main fuse in the engine bay on the driver shock tower.
