I wanted to know if anyone had any ideas what the cause of my problem is. Oh by the way my car is a Manual Trans.

70% of the time I go to start my car, nothing happens, not even a click. But I noticed that everytime I take my foot off of the brakes the car starts.

What gives? It almost seems like the brake lights are shorting out my car or something? It’s starts all the time when I do that but I’m scared that It wont work for long and that my car will leave me stranded one day.

thanks for listening, any input will be greatly appreciated.

Not to be dumb, but are you sure that you are engaging the clutch all the way when yoiu have your other foot on the brake? Why do you put your foot on the brake when starting a manual anyway? Just curious?

Also check your battery. If the charge is just above what the starter wants to see, then your brake lights could conceivably be sucking down the power enough.
