Car not starting?? please help

OK my battery is fine the alternator is too, I got the battery tested we tryed jumping it nuthing I herd sum clicking didnt sound like it was comming from the starter, where is the starter fuse I think it was there and im jus dumb lol, coulnt find it. I really hope its not my starter that likes 200 for a stupid starter, I am thinking it could be the clutch pedal saftey switch, can I by pass it by just hooking a wire between the two.

well the clutch pedal safety sensor is right there under the pedal. if you press the pedal all the way down.. the pedal will touch the sensor.. and then you can start the car.

if your ignition lights up fine.. then its not the battery.

dude.. put it in 1st gear, hold the clutch.. turn the ignition on.. tell your friend to push the car.. and when u get to a speed that you think will start the car, release the clutch. after the car starts, apply the clutch again so it doesnt stall. this should work.

Actually, the actual relay is the green box mounted to the inside fender next to your battery. You can just straight wire those and bypass it.

Since you said you heard a clicking noise around where the starter is, it's probably the starter.
