Last night i started my car ( - 20, started fine), drove to my friends, parked in the heated parkade, came out two hours later and the car won't start. It doesn't turn over and it doesn't make any clicking noises. The lights are bright and the stereo and accessories all run. I am thinking that it is either the neutral safety switch or the starter. Any opinions?
Also, i am going to try to push start it, but i was wondering if push starting will work if either the starter or the neutral safety switch are bad?

yeah it should work if it is only the clutch switch that has gone bad, you also might want to check the starter wires to see if they are all conected, night also be a fuse, i cant recall if the starter has a fuse or not?

Thanks, i will check all the wires first. I just hope i can get it started. I think a parkade is the worst place for a car to die suddenly!
