Not getting signal to starter when keys turned

When I turn the key I get everything but the starter engaging to start car? I've checked starter its good I've checked battery its good. What else could it be? What relays or fuses need to be checked? I've swaped starter relay with others and still nothing. Clutch switch seems to be working I really don't know how to check that. Is there any fuses under dash that are incorporated with the starter?

Do you have any aftermarket turbo timers etc? I had this issue on my 8, it was a clip in the steering column under the plastic on the left side by where the height adjuster is. Just needed to push it together a tad and voila. Hope it helps

I'm still trying to figure out what you were trying to say in the other post you started on this. Are you saying the starter just spins but won't engage with the flywheel? If that's the case you have a bad solenoid.

No I'm saying that when I hit the key the starter does nothing but I ran a jumper wire from the tab on starter and touched to battery and car fires right up.

Pick one please. Check relay and clutch switch again.

Clutch switch would be my bet
