When attempting to start nothing happens. No starter solenoid click, nothing. Battery is fine. Jump start won't work.

It can be bump started... takes me back to my youth.

Pulled clutch switch and ordered a replacement as it showed open... then I found out it's not a switch but a petentiomemter. Tests fine as a pot. sigh... Amazon will deliver the new clutch postion sensor shortly, I'll compare and install. Not hopeful it'll solve the issue.

It's on the freezing driveway, on stands (replaced timing belt and alot of other work), so checking if the signal voltage is present at the solenoid terminal of the starter when attempting to start would seem to be the next logical check? Also checking 12V is on the starter's power terminal?

Is there a list of all the fuses I need to check for this issue?

Any other trouble shooting ideas?

Yeah see if the wires are connected. My previous 2012 the wire held around the crimp oxidized and had no contact to the contact solenoid.

There should be at least a fuse and a relay.
