Starter, starter solenoid, clutch safety switch are all possibles. A clamp-on DC ammeter can be used to measure the starter solenoid current at the clutch safety switch - there should be about (roundhouse guess) 10 to 20 amps and the solenoid should click in. If not, the solenoid may be heat-soaked and locked open = no current to the starter. Wait for a few hours to cool down and try again - if the solenoid operates and no starter action, the starter needs to be rebuilt. Pretty simple ...

I've got the no start issue right now and I'm doing to switch bypass.I have an NOS switch and would like to replace it but the thing is buried and I don't have the patience to fight this thing. As far as somebody trying to find a new OEM switch they just aren't out there. KEEN CORVETTE PARTS was having these reproduced and they might have them done by now. In the past I did run a second ground from the starter relay but that didn't fix anything. I did have a second switch I sold to somebody last year,I might give him a call and see if he ever installed it.

Car sat for a week in garage. Checked battery with multimeter and it was at 11.94 volts. PO didn't mark the date on the battery that was in there so no idea how old it was. So there is a new Interstate battery going in it. I also got a relay, and made up the wires to do the above mentioned bypass relay. Hopefully I will have that all done tomorrow. I also got plenum gaskets from Jerry so if I have another issue I can pull the starter and clean the solenoid.
Thanks to all for your help!

Yeah Dyno I've been looking at that. If I do it I will probably shoot you a PM beforehand. I'm gonna try doing the rest and hope it works for now due to time constraints. I made up the wires for the relay earlier this week, crimped, soldered, and heat shrink tubing over the connections. I have the ground wire mounted, and got the battery tonite before my Corvette Club meeting. Should be rolling again by tomorrow pm. Of course I'm taking my time, as I show the car - so I clean everything as I get to it..lol
PS - and I would love to meet the idiot engineer who put that bolt in the slot on the bottom of the side panel so you have to jam a wrench in there and worry about chipping the paint. ![]() ![]()

Pretty sure it wasn't VATS. 20k miles on the car and I had the second key that came with the car (that I don't think had ever been used) and it didn't work either. I think I had a combo pack of an old battery, and possibly a clutch switch starting to go bad. If it does it again - I go diggin for the starter...
