Default Re: Car doesn't start?

Well if you look at the wiring diagram on page 854 it seems clear that if you jumper B1 to F1 on the Pulse module and the car starts when you turn the key it is the problem.

Real question: is the solenoid clicking or not ? If it is you can eliminate the whole switch circuit on the right and concentrate on the high current circuit on the left.

Triage is good when troubleshooting. Just firing parts at it only is effective with OPM.

Must admit that on my cars I usually jumper the clutch switch, never know when you'll be stuck on a railroad track with a train coming (or have to get a car home without a clutch, have been there before).

For the download challenged, the diagram is below. Note they are treating the starter motor/solenoid as a black box.
