Hi... I have a 1990 240sx, manual trans. When I go to start it it cranks slow then clicks. Battery is charged, checked for parasitic draw (none), starter checked out and is good. I can turn the starter over fine if I put a jumper on the ignition wire (the thin wire on the starter) and connect it to the positive terminal on the battery. Once I hook the thin wire back up normally it does the slow crank again. Could it be the ignition switch itself, or the clutch safety switch? Thanks...
