**UPDATE SOLVED !!**

It was the clutch switch ! Snipped the wires and connected them together and she cranks beautifully. Thanks again to everyone who put up with me typing my thoughts over the last week and that chimed in. Very much appreciated this forum is awesome

** Original post **

I guess it was only a matter of time after reading about no crank threads here and there on the forum ! First time it's happened to me.. Finishing moving.. Last thing was to get my ZR-1 home. Stopped for gas and now she won't fire up.

Car is a 1994 *

Security doesn't blink when the key is in so thinking not vats. But looks like the bypass is next on the list for one.

Clutch pedal.. I can't seem to see any photos on where to look.. Does the panel need to be removed to access the switch ? I have no tools on me but i do have someone to help push ! Will try that shortly.

Any input is appreciated !

**UPDATE** 08/15/16 11am

Again in a nutshell. Cranked and fired every single time over the years until this happened. My experience tells me if it was the starter it may crank sometimes .. I've personally never had one die completely but there's always a first time. I did just do the clutch switch bypass. 5 mins and done but still no start.

Thanks to all your guys help so far at least I am now able to fire the car up until I get it sorted out !

Harness under the ECM.

Purple wire

I added a 8awg quality wire I had laying as spare. Touching this to the battery positive terminal cranked the motor instantly.
Added a rubber cap and taped it and the wire later for extra protection. Easily hidden out of sight.

Now to figure out why the starter isn't getting power when I turn the key.. Hmm..
