All standard vehicles have a neutral safety switch for many decades so people won`t try starting them in gear causing damage or hurting someone. it maybe open. its located at the base of the clutch pedal and as you push on the pedal all the way down it closes the switch to allow power to start the car. its a 2 wire switch so you can jump the 2 wires and see if the car will start. make sure the car is in neutral.

If you find the switch, you can temporarily jump across it, 'till you get a new one. When you go to buy it you are looking for a clutch switch.
Neutral switches are found on automatic trans vehicles. If you jump it out, be VERY careful to make sure you start in neutral with the clutch depressed as without the switch, it will start in any gear even with the clutch engaged.

SOURCE: clutch safety switch

Hi:
The clutch safety switch is mounted up above the clutch pedal arm, near the pivot point.

Testimonial: "Thanks Bud, I wasn't sure and I had heard it was mounted inside the trany. Have a Great Day !"

SOURCE: i have a 1991 nissan 300zx 5spd manual wont start

check the starter solenoid and the starter connections. if either of them burned up the car wouldnt start.... wait... is it turning over or no? if not then check your power transistor unit on the passenger side timing cover. could also cause it to not start..

SOURCE: Where is clutch safety switch located on 1992

Hello mtripp: My name is Roger and I will answer your question. The neutral safety switch is located on a bracket directly above the clutch pedal. Should have two wires that plug into it. One should be white with a blue tracer and the other wire should be black with white tracer. Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate the answer you received as this way i know it was helpful. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

check or have someone check your neutral safety switch by putting transmission in park, turn ignition switch to start, and move gear selector lever at same time. if engine starts while doing this test you need to adjust safety switch! If you have a manual trans make sure to push clutch pedal as far as possible while turning key!

If it won't crank, check clutch safety switch and cables for the starter.
If it cranks but won't start, you'll need to find out if it is ignition or fuel to know where to look next.

My 1996 Nissan Altima Won't start, The battery is Fine But When I push in the clutch and turn it over it doesn't do anything at all

Clutch safety switch maybe . There is a electrical circuit that won't let Battery voltage go to the starter unless the clutch pedal is pressed . The switch should be on top of the clutch pedal arm . You would need to lay on the drivers floor board an look up under the dash . Two wires , green with white stripe - this is the B+ side of the switch , the other side is black . trying to start the vehicle there should be battery voltage , you can use a volt meter to test it . You can also check the other wire as well . If there is no B+ voltage , up stream from the clutch switch is a clutch interlock relay . Here is a web site for free wiring diagrams , do you know what they are ?
http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html Enter the vehicle info. Year , make , model an engine size . Under system click engine , then subsystem click starting . Click the blue link .You will see the ignition switch , the other things i mention . Do you know how to use a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter ?

1990 nissan pickup will not stsrt untille preeing the clutch interlock switch on dash,then start up.

try pressing the clutch pedal down at different heights and see if it will start, if so then you will need to adjust the linkages to the clutch pedal. if it still won't start, then you will need to replace the neutral safety switch.

I have a 1993 chevy 3/4 ton 5 spd. I have power everywhere when you first turn the key. Radio, headlights, dome light ect.. When I push in the clutch an attempt to turn the key over Nothing happens, no...

Either clutch nuetral safety switch or antitheft system turning off starter.

Ive heard of people bypassing the clutch neutral safety switch. I beleive it is as simple as finding the button under the clutch pedal and snipping the two wires and twisting together

(¦n?·tr?l ?s?f·t? ?swich)

(electricity) An electric switch that is connected to the ignition switch of an internal combustion engine and prevents starting the engine unless the transmission shift lever is in the neutral or park position, or the clutch pedal is depressed.



Might try tilting the steering wheel up or down and starting in different positions, maybe loose wire in tilt.

1994 NISSAN SENTRA INTERMITEDLY STARTS. W/CLUTCH DEPRESSED TURNING KEY NO RESPONSE. POWER IS PRESENT IE.RADIO LIGHTS. HOW DO I DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM? IS THERE A CUT OUT SWITCH ON THE CLUTCH PEDAL THAT...

Connect a voltmeter to the middle pin of the startermotor. Let some start the car, if voltage appears and no start it's likely the starter motor / solenoid.If no voltage appears it might be the clutch / brake switch. If there's a cruise control - these 2 switches are read also when cruising.

My jeep won't turn over, but everything has power, lights will still come on, stereo, everything electronic works, just.. not the starter.

Check for power at the starter main cable and at the small trigger wire beside it (with key turned to start).
If no power at the small wire, check the neutral safety switch (or clutch switch if stick) starter relay and any fuses in the power distribution center near battery. Even though you have power everywhere, check that the terminal connections are clean and tight. Your starter draws far more power than anything else and can cause a bad connection to "break" when that much amperage is demanded.If you have power at both items on the starter, the starter itself may have failed.

Nissan starter

Try replaceing the starter realy but if itsa 5 speed try bypassing the clutch safety switch with a paper clip and you might see that it will start, the clutch switch is on the clutch pedal, if it's automatic it's on the brake switch.

Starting system

If it's an automatic, it has a Transmission range Switch (neutral safety switch). If it's a manual transmission, it'll have a clutch start switch. Here's the schematic:
