No problems with my car. yesterday parked it for an hour, came out and would not start, no crank and my dash lights, interior lights, headlights and air all work fine. Tow truck driver popped the clutch so I was able to make it home to troubleshoot. Any thoughts?

In continuing my research on the above issue, I discovered that the clutch pedal stop pad was missing, broken pieces on the floor beneath the pedal. I will get the part tomorrow. If it does not resolve the issue, I will contact you. Thank you.

That pedal button can do it. It is supposed to push the clutch interlock switch and allow the starter to function. If it is gone you can sometimes flex the pedal to the side enough to push the switch and start the car so you can get the part. Or you can replace it with just about anything that will fit in the hole, I generally use a trim tree, They are much cheaper than the OEM part and are usually in the help isle at a parts store.
