Hi all! So my Saleen is having a not wanting to start issue. It slowing started happening almost leaving me stranded a few times, drive it, park and wont start. I put the key in the ignition to crank it, all the dash lights and radio comes on, roll the key forward and get no power (radio, dash lights turn off, with the exception of parking brake and check engine light staying on). Battery checks out fine, and is a few months old, car is not in Theft mode, strangely enough I can roll start the car.

Ive pulled and checked all fuses, under the dash and in the engine bay.

I am thinking either the clutch interlock safety switch took a dump or starter/solenoid issues.

What do you guys think?? Trying to get some input to get an idea of where to start.

Thanks SVTP

If you can roll start the car that rules out most of the potential issues related to heat soak and electronics. I would start with the start solenoid and go from there. If the car didn't push start then the cam/crank sensor would be a recommendation.
