[2GturboTALON]

Ok so the other day my top radiator neck cracked and sent antifreeze all over my engine bay. I immediately pulled over and checked everything out and was able to fix my top radiator hose and get it to hold coolant again. I go to start my car and it will not start. no cranking whatsoever just an ecu click. I tested battery and it was good. Alternator also checked out well. I sleep on it and come back the next day try to start and still nothing. I then decide to try to unplug the clutch safety switch. Bam it starts right up. What coud cause the safety switch to go bad just instantly ?

I have noticed now though that if i try to gun it from a start it hesitates a ton.



Also while i was looking under the dash i notice this little white plug with nothing connected to it. It is a green wire with black stripe and another wire with a black stripe. Heres a pic

i dont think those wires are the reason for your car acting up running wise but as for the clutch switch they do go bad from the years of activity, as for the plug hanging from the brake switch it just hangs there from factory as for the single wire plug circled blue, there are 2 switches on the clutch area one is for cruise and other is for starting check those out.

That wire gave me hell when I first got my DSM. Unplug it and never look back.
