Starting issue in a 96 Metro

Starter has been replaced, battery is new, has spark. When you turn the key to run no grrr, no noise, no click nothing. Lights work radio works, 60amp link fuse is good. Solenoid is good. Will clutch start on a hill. So advice? and some questions where is the neutral or clutch cutoff switch? Anything else?

1.0L 5spd.

There's no neutral switch, there is a clutch safety switch mounted on the clutch pedal bracket. Jumper the clutch switch (BE VERY CAREFULL) if it still doesn't work, then it's the solenoid or the ignition switch itself.

Re: Starting issue in a 96 Metro

Try a test light on the signal wire (on the solenoid) when you're in the start position. If it lights up, then you're okay. Just the other day, mine did that and I just found a faulty contact. I wiggle it a little bit and it fired right up. If your signal wire doesn't light up, then you likely have a bad ignition switch or clutch safety switch. Check your battery terminals for good measure.

Re: Starting issue in a 96 Metro

Ill try these suggestions, if it would just warm up outside a bit that would be great.
