Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    Bad Ignition or bad clutch Sensor?

    Hey there ppls, unfortunately I'm having no crank no start issues out of nowhere and I can't figure out what it is. I used my 93 Cb7 all day but once I parked and tried restart 15 min later, nothing. It's a manual I thought maybe it was the starter fuse or main relay but they look good and starter too. I noticed that the clutch pedal pad that stops the clutch sensor from sticking out was also broken. Replaced it with a new one but nothing. I pushed the clutch turn the key and all I get are perfectly lit up dash lights with no noise or clicking. I can push start tho.

    All suggestions are welcome
    Thank you

    Put a paper clip in the safety switch connector, and try to start it up. (Like how to check for CEL codes)

    There's a rubber bumper plug thing on the back of the clutch pedal that presses the safety switch. They get old and brittle, and then break. When I had my CB's, I would replace the rubber piece with a bolt and nut.

        It's connected to the golden, zinc coated sensor that the rear bumper presses when you depress the clutch pedal. The sensor is literally held on to the pedal assembly.

        If you can't find it, you can put the car in NEUTRAL - this is important lol. Neutral, and then turn key to on, and jump the starter solenoid with wire or a screwdriver.

        Also, know that if you do jump the safety switch, your vehicle can start in gear. I did this at a gas station one time years ago, while in first gear, and the car shit whipped me into the engine bay lol.

          Just checkin', you did put the wide side the pad on top, correct? I've used the plastic front fender liner retainers in a pinch.
