won't start

What is your question?

Car always started fine. Then one day it just wouldn't start at all. Nothing at all. No sounds. No response at all. Just turn the key and nothing at all. Battery checks out good (fairly new), there is power to the starter, the starter relay is good, the clutch switch is good and the last thing to be checked was the ignition switch. So I figured that was it and replaced the ignition switch. Still the same results, nothing at all. Security issue??

What makes this problem better or worse?

About a month ago it just wouldn't start. I'm at the end of my rope. Next step to get it to a garage, but it will have to be towed. I'm just trying to save some money.

Google > how to roll start vehicle with manual transmission. Drive to desired auto repair facility. Good luck!

I thought about doing that. However I have no guarantee that popping the clutch is going to start it. If I attempt to do that and it don't start then my car is in the street in the way.

I would have to try that first - if it doesn’t work out > THEN call for tow truck.. Really no reason the engine will not start - it is not a security problem - with activated security system engine will still crank but will not start - no fuel delivery. ( FIRST thing I always do is try a jump start - regardless of assumptions )

Tried jumping it. Nothing. Ran a wire from the battery to the starter. That made the starter crank. Does that tell you anything?

How do you post a comment on here? Whenever I try to, it directs me to go through Facebook. I don't have time for Facebook.

You just posted a comment - here is another > *TEST* each and every FUSE you can find on the vehicle using a 12 lot test light. You’d be surprised how many vehicles I have fixed that way - that is AFTER the statement was made it can’t be a fuse.! Now of course this is considering you have already proven the clutch interlock is working ok. Just take a look at the diagram - I think you’ll see what I mean https://www.autogenius.info/toyota-corolla-2005-2007-fuse-box-diagram/ Good luck!
