I have a hx model, died one day,checking in found left white wire on the hood fuse box fitting broken, tried to get it a part broke box,purchased used one, replaced, swapped all fuses,but spliced both white wires, now it won't crank over,I did mark the wire that broke,because both are white, would accidentally swapping this effect it....I swear I put it back correct,but anthing is possible

ok so I double checked I have wires in the correct position. ...I've checked underdash fuses....hmm I don't get,I can read prints,don't see the problem,what I do see in the haynes manual is that a coupe,would have a black and white wire, a hatchback would have two white wires, so being a manual hx model obviously must be using the hatchback wiring...as it has two white wires....I find it hard to beleive that ignition switch went bad at the same time....but it's the only part I haven't checked...turn key to start position....nothing, otherwise you have all the bells and whistles working....anyone ????

You need to tell the year of the car, they are not all the same...


A common problem on older cars is the clutch pedal switch is supposed to make contact with a little round pad attached to the pedal, that round pad crumbles and breaks apart then the switch doesn't get pushed in far enough to close its contacts.


The bottom switch you can see on the clutch pedal easily is not for the starter.
The switch you're looking for is up higher.
