Ok, I found the clutch switch...it's a red tube like thing on the rear side of the clutch pedal mounting assembly, and it looks like it gets 'turned on' when the rod leaves its body as the clutch is depressed. Not sure how this might come off, or how to test it either, other than to leave it on, connect a meter to the terminals (where are they...just find the wires attached to it?) and see if there is continuity when the pedal is depressed (maybe the pedal should take some drugs for that depression...).
I'm trying easy stuff first, before deciding it's something like the starter soleniod...which looks like a real pain to get off the car...
I'll also see about the fuses that might possibly inhibit starting...like the ignition relay ... how do you tell if a relay is bad? I know this is going to end up at a dealer...I'm just trying to keep the money in my pocket instead of theirs...for a change...(cause after they are done...I don't have much change at all!)
