Hi guys,
I have a 2010 370z Roadster Manual.
I've had this intermittent starting problem that's been getting worse and worse lately. From the research I've done, all indicators point to a faulty clutch interlock switch.
When I press the start button, all the lights come on etc, clutch is depressed, and car goes into ACC mode, I press the button again, the clutch is still in, but instead of the engine starting, the car just goes into ON mode. The battery gauges etc all go up to normal values, then I press the START button again, and everything just switches off. This is identical behaviour to not having pushed the clutch in.
My car is booked to go into the dealer tomorrow, but now I can no longer get my car started! It seems the problem has just gotten totally bad now. Before I could start the car after 5-10 tries, now if I spent 10-15 minutes trying no luck
What I really need to do is just override the clutch switch once so I can get my car started and drive it into the dealer, without getting it towed. As the car is no longer under warranty and I really don't want to go through the hassle of getting a tow and the expense of it, on a Monday morning.
Can anyone please give some advice on how I can perform this override. I've looked at the 370z technical manual on this site, I've looked at the Clutch section, and see the Clutch Interlock Switch, but I'm really not sure what to do to it to override it.
I'm not technical at all when it comes to cars, so any layman advice would be much appreciated
Thanks
