Hey guys I read a thread that sounded really similar to my problem but there was no conclusion. So here is my scenario. I am wrapping up a clutch replacement. The car started fine before I began and now the fuel pump turns on when I turn the key but the starter doesn't do anything. I can hotwire the starter and get the car running but I don't know what to check. I don't remember taking any wires off apart from the starter wires, grounds and sensors. I can't figure out what changed.

Wiring damaged?

The late cars use a slightly different connector but the location is the same.
Just an idea.

Thanks for the reply.
If another problem with the starter happens, check the brushes.
I have used this DIY to repair a couple.
