Help! Replaced Clutch, Now No Start
Crossfire's been down for 2 months now. I replaced the clutch due to a bad throwout bearing/slave cylinder (the clutch pedal got a squishy feel and the car developed the tell-tale burning smell that goes with a slipping clutch). After I got the clutch done the car didn't want to start (clicking solenoid but no crank), but I figured that was quite likely a dead/low battery since the thing had been sitting for almost a month. I put it on a trickle charger and lo and behold, it fired right up.
I drove it around for a couple of days and it seemed to be fine. Then, inconveniently, it left me stranded at a restaurant, back to the clicking solenoid but no crank symptom. I got a ride home and then installed a new battery the next day (the one in it was the original, so almost 8 years old). Even with a brand new battery it wouldn't start. That was about a month ago.
Today I put a new starter in thinking maybe the burned up clutch had fouled up the starter somehow (usually two issues in related systems don't happen at the same time unless the two issues are related), but that didn't fix the problem, still clicking, but no crank.
Here are all the current symptoms:
1. Turn key to start get rapid clicking but no crank
2. Remote unlocks and locks doors just fine
3. Unlocking and opening door with key sets off alarm
4. Verified connections of sensors, especially those that had to be disconnected for the clutch replacement
5. When I turn it to start and then back to on without it starting the wing comes up... not sure if this is normal behavior? The interior lights stay off until the wing is up and then they come on
I've got it back on the trickle charger for now to see if it'll start up again after a few hours of charging, because after all the attempts the lights are now pretty dim. What should I check if that doesn't fix it? What if that *does* fix it?
