My 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer will not start. I think it might be the clutch pedal switch but I am not sure. I took it off and tested it with my ohm meter with it having no resistance while disengaged and infinite resistance while it is engaged. I even tried to bypass the switch but it still does not start. What else could it be?!

Use your meter to check for power at the clutch switch when the key is turned to start. If no power, the ignition switch or wire from the switch is bad. If the is power, the starter solenoid is bad.

well the low cost way to go first would be to try and change the trans fluids. If the problems still remains the it may be an internal problem

SOURCE: Hi i have a mitsubishi lancer 1.3 petrol 2006, i

wow ok i am from australia our lancers only come in a 2.0 or 2.4 i was shocked to see a 1.3 lancer
now with the key
every time you incert the key into the ignition it reads the key as there is a chip in the orignal keys so thatway the immobiliser knows thatit is safe for the car to start
if the cra can not read the key it will not let the car start evan if it is twisting to start etc
you need to go to mitsubishi and have them copy some new keys and let them reset the codes on the immobiliser if you try to do so your self it may trigger a cold shut down
this is when the immobiliser its self needs to be replaces as well as the keys
hopes this helps

SOURCE: I have no heat in my 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer. When

The cable that pulls the cool/heat switch on the a/c gets weak and it doesnt allow the dial to switch over to heat. You can see that cable and the way its supposed to work on the right side of the gas pedal over it. I usually just use my foot to push that switch over to heat and reach with and pull on it with my right hand to cool.

Trouble Starting the 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer

The most common cause for no crank is the neutral safety switch.
On automatic trans cars it keeps you from cranking the engine in drive or reverse. On manual trans cars you have to push the clutch in.
I would want to know if the starter is getting power from the key switch when the switch is in the start position.

I took my 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer to a local A/C shop , the mechanic told me the clutch will not engage unless we hit it while the engine and AC unit are both turned on.

On The Lancer 2.0L 98% Cases I ve had on this vehicle Was Resolved By Replacing The Field Coil On the Ac Compressor $98 only available online..
Or Thru Mitsubishi A Clutch Kit Replacement Would be Ideal But It Cost the same as a new compressor.. just be easy with ur current parts and replace the Magnetic Field Coil

I have been told there is a switch wired to the clutch of my 94 2500 two wheel diesel. When it malfuntions it mimics a bad starter. Where is this switch?

Yes, there is a clutch pedal safety switch which prevents the vehicle from being started without the clutch pedal being depressed. However, this switch if faulty would result in a no start ( no starter or solenoid sounds at all). I would first check a few very important things first, Clean both the battery terminals and cables. Check for a good ground connection and a tight and clean starter connection. I would also inspect the starter cables for any hot spots or damaged insulation. If all those are fine then you could test the clutch switch with a test light or volt ohm meter to ensure its working correctly. In all the years working on these I have only seen on switch ever fail. Generally the problem lies in the cables or a faulty solenoid.

Car rear Stop Lights will not work

the best way to check is the test light, the meter will give you false reading because the circuit will go around and find another path to return to the test point
