Ok…here is history….Manual trans, starter and wiring harness (off of key ignition) replaced some months ago, battery appears to be good. I stalled car, tried to retart…nothing…no clicking…nothing. Starter does not appear to be getting juice. I suspect two things….Clutch switch(s) or previously replaced key ignition wiring. Your thoughts?

I would look at clutch safety switch. there maybe an adjustment.
with the car in neutral.e brake on jump the wires and see if the
car starts. if jumping the switch does not work. recheck the new
wiring. btw you may also want to jiggle the ignition with the key
see if the car starts.you could have a faulty ignition switch. the
electrical portion.its more then likely your safety switch had the almost same thing happen to me with my car i jumped it and everything worked fine
When you cycle the key, do any of your instrument cluster lights operate or is it completely dead?
+1 with the great posts above.
In addition to the posted video I think this one would also have some useful information for you.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKjdnQ0s … ure=relmfuOk. Bottom line. Top clutch switch was not being fully depressed with clutch peddle pushed in. So, I took bottom one off (car thinks peddle pushed in) and wired top switch fully pushed in (car thinks clutch fully depressed). Yes I know I bypassed a safety feature, but that is acceptable to me. Yes,I did try to adjust bottom switch so it would depress fully with clutch peddle fully depressed, didn’t work
So does it work now? BTW I cover this issue in this video.
