No Crank/No Start Problem
While at an event, I went to start the 2000 Vette and nothing. Dash Gauges worked, no interior lights, headlights worked. I was able to put the car in second gear, pop the clutch and with a push it would start. At home I ran the codes and the only current codes were P1637, U1064 and U1160. Checked the battery and say 12.70V, when the car was running it was 14.2V, turned the car off and it would not start. DIC and headlights worked, no interior lights, etc. Checked the interior fuse box #50 and 52 showed 12V and 14 showed 0V, pulled the fuse 14 and did continuity check and it was good. While I suspect it might be the starter solenoid, I am confused about the lack of voltage going to fuse 14. before I try to jump the red/purple wire (takes a contortionist to get to) or the clutch neutral switch, or pull the starter, I thought to check if there are any other suggestions

If it's not the clutch safety/neutral switch then it could be the ignition switch, it could also be the TDR itself. Have somebody try to start the car while you verify that the TDR is being energized each and every time the key is turned to the crank/start position. The good news is of course that you don't have to replace the starter.

I know the solenoid will work on the starter, a friend had a new TDR that I replaced on mine and it did not crank, I could not get it to crank when I jumped the Safety/neutral switch. However, when depressed, there is continuity from both from the prongs. Looking more likely being the ignition system. However I am still concerned because I have no BCM modules working, no interior lights, radio, etc.
