Ptelude dashlights dont come on until7/14/2023 Try tapping the starter with a hammer or wrench and then starting the car. If it now starts you know that the problem.Ī. Find the ignition or clutch relay and replace it with a relay that is of the same type and you know is working. However, it go destroyed and broke off, that's why my car wasn't starting.Ī. In my case at the top of my clutch pedal there was a rubber piece that was in the metal that pushed it. That black peg has to be pushed in for the car to start. This is found at the top of the clutch pedal. Are the headlights coming on and are they bright? If they aren't it could be a battery issue.Ī. It ended up being an issue with the clutch safety switch.īefore you go out and spend a lot of money follow this checklist.Ī. So I had this issue today with my standard transmission car and none of the answers that I found online was actually the issue. If both sides of the T/L CTSY fuse are dead - check electrical connections through the firewall bulkhead connector, as well as the fusible links connecting the 12-gauge red wires to the firewall junction block in the engine compartment and the 3/8" battery cable stud on the starter solenoid - repair as needed.I'm posting for future people that have this issue.The 'short' could exist anywhere between the fuse block, the headlamp switch, and the cluster PCB. If only one side of the T/L CTSY fuse is hot - replace the T/L CTSY fuse and check for shorts-to-ground in the wiring between the T/L CTSY fuse and the PCB.If both sides of the T/L CTSY fuse are hot - verify that the T/L CTSY fuse is making good electrical connection in the fuse block, then locate and repair the open in the orange wire between the T/L CTSY fuse and the headlamp switch connector.If the orange wire pair is dead - probe both sides of the Tail/Courtesy Lamp (T/L CTSY) fuse in the fuse block:.If the orange wire pair is hot - check all wire connections to the headlamp switch and/or replace the headlamp switch, as necessary.If the dark green wire at the switch is dead - probe the orange wire pair at the headlamp switch:. If the dark green wire at the switch is hot - verify that the INSTR LPS fuse is making good electrical connection to both of its terminals in the fuse block, then locate and repair the open in the dark green wire between the headlamp switch and the INSTR LPS fuse.If both sides of the INSTR LPS fuse are dead, probe the dark green wire at the headlamp switch with a test light:.Make sure the PCB isn't grounding to bare metal. If only one side of the INSTR LPS fuse is hot, replace the INSTR LPS fuse and locate the short-to-ground in the wiring between the fuse block and the PCB.Using a pencil eraser, gently burnish the bulb socket connections to the PCB being careful to avoid peeling the copper foil loose from the PCB. If the gray wire is 'hot' - verify all of the dash bulbs are good, check the electrical connection between the harness connector and the instrument cluster circuit board (PCB), and check the instrument cluster ground connection to the cab sheetmetal.If the gray wire is 'dead' - verify that the INSTR LPS fuse is making good electrical connection to both of its terminals in the fuse block, then locate and repair the open in the gray wire between the INSTR LPS fuse and the instrument cluster harness connector.If both sides of the INSTR LPS fuse are 'hot,' probe the gray wire at the instrument cluster harness connector with the test light:. Use a test light clipped to a verified good ground to probe both sides of the Instrument Lamps (INSTR LPS) fuse. Switch the running lights ON with the dash lamp dimmer rotated all the way counterclockwise. Refer to the appropriate year wiring manual in the Tech Section of the Forum, about half-way down the page.
