2000 Boxster won't start

My 2000 Boxster won't start. When I turn the ignition, it's like the clutch isn't pushed down far enough. But it's all the way down and the battery has full power.

Does starter spin? If so, its not the clutch switch. If the starter doesn't spin, you can easily bypass the clutch switch and see if it starts.

Do gauges work? Lights?

More info is needed to help you out!

Look at the top of the clutch arm. There's a plunger type switch that gets pushed in as the clutch is pressed in. In most Boxsters you can hear the click of it being pushed in and releasing. Take those wires off, make a jumper.
