[QUOTE="efnfast, post: 15732034, member: 104733"] I changed the clutch on my 04 today. After putting everything back together the car would not start - when I would turn the key the starter would click and then I would immediately lose power for ~30seconds (i.e., no horn, windows, radio, etc..) and then power would come back, kinda like a circuit breaker blew and then reset. I also found that if i keyed the car on, let the gauges sweep, then keyed it off, the gas gauge would start to settle at back to 0 and then freeze, unable to return to the rest point. What I traced it to was the clutch neutral switch - if I plugged it in, all of the above would happen. If i unplugged it and jumpered it to bypass it everything was fine. Plug it back in, all of my problems returned immediately. So here's my head scratcher - why would a defective switch kill all of my power when i try to start the car and mess with my gauges? Shouldn't the only symptom being that when i would try to start the car nothing would happen (like when you start the car w/o pushing in the clutch)? [/QUOTE]
