Intermittent issue starting the car , VATS or starter problem? ---

[alwayscode390]

So the clutch safety switch is depressed with the pedal , like the brake switch right?

I just swapped out the brake switch to get my 3rd brake light working again, about 2 months ago.

I actually just went outside and stood on the pedal with more force than normal. I could have sworn to hear a slight "click" from the pedal ... then it fired right up!

I may have tried starting it too quickly , the link Lee shared above stated that you should never try to start and push the clutch at the same time ... I will be more mindful of this from now on.

Thanks! ---
