This thread helped me to solve my click-click no start issue...somewhat. My question is, in the diagram above, where does the clutch position switch sit in a 5MT swap if executed per Huck's instructions (2 wires from clutch position switch to connector in the engine bay)?
I know the clutch position switch is in the circuit somewhere because my "fix" for my click-click no start issue was to run a wire from the starter interrupt relay (the one on the steering column) straight to the starter solenoid. Starts every time with that setup, but It also bypasses the clutch position switch because now it will start with the clutch out. Not a huge deal to me, and I could leave it this way if necessary, but I'd like to keep it operating via the clutch.
I checked the voltage going to my clutch switch in the "start" position and it's good (12v), so my feeling is that i have an issue in the security module/inhibitor switch which occasionally causes voltage at the starter solenoid in "start" position to fall to 6v (because the clutch switch itself checks out OK). This fact makes me believe that the clutch position switch is located in between the starter interrupt relay and the inhibitor switch. True?
It's looking like my final fix will be to run a wire from the clutch position switch directly to the starter solenoid so that it gets sufficient voltage every time. Will this have any tradeoffs other than losing my theft deterrence (which I keep "off" anyway because I don't have a FOB and don't like when I occasionally accidentally trip the alarm)?
