thats what i was told, was hoping it might be something a lil cheaper to fix...

I was thinking clutch switch? But not sure if it would still "click".

check to make sure your "by-pass" hasn't worked it's way loose on the clutch switch.



Off the top of my head, i can't remember if the "BTN" fuse is inline with the starter system or not. I'll look at it after work tonight.

clutch switch was givin me that exact problem on my old Turbo II.



I bypassed the clutch switch, and SHAZZAM, started every time thereafter.
