earlier this morning i started my car up and drove home from my friends house. i turn my car off, run inside to grab something, then come back out to my car to find that it wont start? the dash lights up, horn works and all that, so it cant be the battery. my check engine, oil, and battery lights are on, and so is my brake...even though my e-brake doesnt work to begin with. i dont get anything when i turn the key, and all i can think of is maybe somethings wrong with the starter, i dunno though. So if you guys could offer any advice or suggestions thatd be great because i really hate not having a car to drive. i have a 92 coupe by the way with like a 130,000 miles if that matters at all.
please help me out...

Check...the ground and the starter for sure.

yea, if it's not those, could it be the clutch switch? I'm not sure but if it wasn't sending that signal it wouldn't let you start it..... for me it was the starter

ha lol you remind me of me...\/_\/.....sorry,i had a 92 240sx. its 99.9% the starter its, seem that model has a starter problem. let me ask you a question did your car ever have problems cranking up?
cause mine did.
i hope you have the best of luck bro

yeah.. if it had problems cranking.. its the starter..

or even the button that the clutch pushes down on may be dirty/broken??

it can also be the starter solenoid

yeah for the last week ive either got lucky and it would start right up, or i have to pop the hood and bang on the starter and the solenoid with a hammer for a minute...and then it starts up. ??
so i guess i need to find a new starter. If you guys know anyone thats parting out a car or has an extra one, please let me know. Thanks alot.
