Swapped it out for the new one in my other car.., same results. I can hear a click somewhere within the dash when I turn the key to start position but it simply doesn't engage starter. Push starting it didn't help so perhaps something with the immobilizer maybe? Totally stumped here.

Not the ignition switch as I just installed a new one yesterday.
Not the clutch switch - both checked it with an ohms meter and also bypassed it
Not battery

Symptoms are the same - key turns fine, all dash lights work, stereo works (no longer turns itself off though when I remove the key), when I turn the key to start car it does not engage the starter at all. I've tried the valet key didn't help.

Again - I just hate the thought of having to get it towed to a stealership to get violated there. Anything I can do myself or last resort, bring it to a good indi, I'll do here. I've got no idea what is wrong or even where to go at this point...
