Hi any ideas why my car won't start it's a jdm blob so have to push clutch down to start fit started after I replaced clutch line for a braided one , when it wouldn't start I replaced the slave cylinder and bled it could there be air in system still the pedal feels good untill about 3/4 up then it springs back
Think you've two problems there possibly. Clutch needs bleed properly and afaik the clutch switch is down at the pedal box. Now you've maybe disturbed it or knocked the wire of the starter when changing slave cylinder.
Probably not far away with a half decent battery but that's not the way its done. Have you checked the small wire on the starter put the meter on it and get someone to try and start the car and see do you get battery voltage.
Went to crank it and it stayed at 11.7v , could it be I had an alarm fitted last week toad one thing is I don't try start it all week so not sure when it stopped starting but iv tried everything it must be the alarm
Anyone know where I can find wiring diagrams or could tell me what these plugs do , the alarm fitter said someone has had a alarm fitted before but made right mess of it
These 2 are by the bonnet release and when I plug them in I get a constant beeping
These are with the 2 green diagnostic clips there is a small male one at highest then below next to diagnostic ones is 2 small black male ones and a larger white male one the car is a 53 jdm Impreza sti with central locking extra

Join them and jump in and shut the door its possibly the door chime.
Yer tried that it's constant weather door open closed ignition on etc , it's such a mess , alarm fitter useless need try fix this he said alarm working as it should he saying something wrong with the car
loosen the starter motor and rock it or put the car in gear and rock back and fore. If you hear a clunk then the starter pinion gear was stuck in the flywheel. As you say the lights dim when trying to crank the engine says to me the starter is engaged. This puts the highest load on the battery thus dimming the lights.
Not had time to look into this further , will do at weekend but would a failed neutral position sensor cause it to not start I was told it was failing about a year ago

Right I had a look all fuses seem good I checked the power going to the starter and there was nothing 0.02v all cables running of it seem good to any ideas where I go from here

What have you actually checked??
Voltage to the solenoid with ignition key in start position?? (otherwise it will be zero)
