If the clutch is pushed in all the way and it's quiet, she'll here a light "click" sound when the ignition defeat switch kicks on.
The wheel will still be locked until you get the key into the "on" position, but when it's pressed against one side or the other of the lock it won't allow the key to turn. Sometimes you have to put the key in and wiggle the wheel while you try to turn the key to start.
Good luck.
