Hey guys, i have a o3 sentra ser with a gtir swap, heres the story, i went to the gas station and the car wouldnt start afterwards. Pop started it and it ran fine, drove it home, started up once and then wouldnt start again, i was told to bypass the clutch switch as the button on the lever fails. I did that, still no start, i rigged a penny to the button and it still wont start, i changed the relay with every spare relay i had, it just clicks no cranking at all. Im at my whits end. Where do i look next. Read the FSM and it did not help. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

Might be something upstream like the starter relay, then. What's going on (or not going on) at the solenoid and main terminals will still tell you which tree to bark up.

Awesome thank you, just seems weird that the clutch button on the pedal was worn to hell and taped on by previous owner and then a bag of worms started afterwards. Appreckate the help

So i found out that the positve connection on the solenoid was loose, so i retightened it, still no start, just click from the relay. I took the starter out and bench tested it. The shaft pops out but does not spin. Ordered a new starter.
