Twice now (1st after stood for 2 weeks, today after 12 mile run yesterday) car did nothing when turning the key, all lights came on then off as normal. Clutch pressed, no clunk no drain on battery

 

Locked car for a few minutes qnd tried again and it start

Voltage on meter

 

12.58

12.33 ignition on

14.58 running

Im thinking the clutch pedal sensor switch might be at fault? 

Would this affect the stop start function?

If that is the case you should get a message to " press clutch " when the key is in the start position.

 

Can you hear a click from the starter relay when the key is turned to start & clutch depressed ?

 

If not, suggest the ignition switch is intermittent.

I get the message

 

no click (never have heard it but wouldnt if the starter kicked in maybe?}

just tried it and it was fine, then i held the key over and pushed the clutch pedal down, it fired up with a good 1.5" of travel left

 

i noticed yesterday the stop/start didnt operate on the short outing, today it did but car got proper warmed up

6am, fired up on the button, 8am, hesitated on the startet position 

 

I remembered its done this before 

 

I feel a new ignition switch might be a good idea, looks easy to do too (and a starter relay)
