Dear all

I know this is the ultimate sin my first post being a cry for help so apologies for this, hope to join in and perhaps contribute in the near future. Only 2 weeks into AM ownership.

Before posting this I have read old threads of a similar nature but unable to find a solution to my problem.

The sun is out so I'd love to go out again, however I turn the ignition on and all of the usual checks are carried out then I press the clutch where the starter button would usually turn red then fire up once pressed but when I press the clutch the button turns red for a split second then goes back out!

I have tried locking and then unlocking with the fob hoping for some sort of reset but still the same happens, mirrors move etc.. no messages or warnings show.

I was last out in the car Wednesday and for many hours so wouldn't really expect a low battery issue after 3 days.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Chris

Could be the switch which registers clutch is engaged - either faulty or perhaps the pedal is obstructed by something and not depressing all the way?

All rather odd, pressed the clutch a few times and moved the gear stick and red light came on! Been fine since so I shall monitor it.
