Starting issues in 2004 cooper S - HELP!!
Well, this is a fun one and I hope that someone can help me on this issue - it is baffeling the mini dealership and I am stumped too. Here we go:
The only thing I can think of is that the clutch saftey switch, which is engaged when the clutch is depressed to start the car, is possibly shorting. But I am clueless - absolutly clueless on what to do - can anyone help?
If you live in the sacramento area and help me solve this problem - I will take you and your significant other out to Mortens Stakehouse .
- I have a 2004 cooper S, 30K miles and today, when I attempted to start her up, I turned the key and the rear window wiper turned on, not the car.
- There is NO engine turn over when I turn the key on to start it. The batter is an optima yellow top and fully charge with strong amps.
- If I turn the key off, on, off, on, off, on - the car starts on the 4th attempt. NOW, I really have to push hard on the clutch (to engage the safety switch) as well.
