HELP Fast please! 2004 won't start
My truck isn't starting this morning. Everything seems normal, but when I turn the key there's just nothing. No click, so sound. Battery is good. Just drove it last night. Manual 51,000 miles.

Do the lights gauges work?
Check the switch/wiring on the clutch pedal.

it's possible the clutch safety switch is malfunctioning, try mashing on it many times, maybe pushing on the pedal real hard will work

Turn key as if u are going to start it and hold it there, while pressing clutch pedal up and down. It it ocassionally starts this way, it's the neutral safety switch.

Didn't work. Looks like I might have to have it towed. Like I can afford it.

No. I drove it at 1am and tried starting it this morning @ 8. It's about 30 degrees and light snow, but there was no snow when I drove it.

I was wondering if the deep snow broke off the trigger wire for starter but not likely. I'm guessing the neutral safety switch is bad. Easy to hotwire and make run if that is truely the problem.
