Weird Issue: Not turning over... Tried everything

[woodsman]

So the starter turns when 'jumped' but not when you turn the key?
Fuel pump- you should hear it start after turning key on and there's a Schrader valve fitting on the right fuel rail for a pressure tester.
The main DME relay is in the trunk and I think this can cause 'silence' with key-on.

Can you change the clutch interlock with another?
Often the first think to let us down is the last thing we fixed. IE- a loose ground or other wire/ connector.

Yes correct it only turns over when jumped

Yes i hear a humming when the key is to the ignition on selection
and I dont have a clutch interlock as the wrecked one was triptronic


Other thought: it seems like a anti theft or kill switch b/c everything worked (approx 10 starts over 2 weeks) and did nothing different or changed anything to make it not start. Everything seems correct except it does not turn over. I have to double check the fuel pump though as the humming noise could be something else.

I did close the top from the service position before it quit starting but i then tried it with it back in the service position, up down and all positions out of desperation but still no click or noise from the starter.

Also this may help, when it was starting it had a bad mechanical ignition switch and didnt spring back once started so the starter was still engaged while it was running. Would this of fried a relay? It was never running more than 5 minutes.


Tomorrow morning i will bridge the clutch micro switch to see if thats the problem. Does anyone have a relay diagram so i can check the starter relay
