2003 Impreza won't start..Clutch switch ??


Recommended Posts

The car will start on compression when rolling downhill,(popping the clutch), but won't start normally. The battery is fine..12+ volts.

I can't hear a clicking sound coming from the starter when trying to start it either.

I was looking at the clutch switch under the dash. Is it supposed to move in and out,(because it doesn't), or is it a proximity switch,(like a magnet) ?

Has anyone tried bypassing the switch, (by simply grounding it )?

Don't ground it, simply unplug it a shove a piece of wire between the two contacts. The plug should have the female ends making this easy.
