yeah wrecking yards are your best bet, or maybe youll have to get it at the counter at an auto place. Cuz thats not a common fuse to blow...

the starter thing is a pretty easy thing to do... look under the intake mainfold and looking straight back to where the tranny bolts up to the block... you will see the starter there... all you have to do is have a friend turn the key at the same time while you tap on the starter with a hammer or something.

the clutch switch kinda hard for me to explain so hopefully someone else can post up informantion for you.

alright this is all i can tell you about the switch... your just gonna have to firgue it out while your looking at it....

If car is stick shift, check that clutch pedal is fully depressed. Check neutral safety switch behind clutch pedal (small button that prevents engine from starting when transmission is in gear). If clutch pedal doesn't fully engage neutral safety switch, engine will not crank.


or pretty much the last thing i can say is check the coil and coil plug


and here is a linky for moe help...
