Default Stealth won't crank/start

93 Dodge stealth non-turbo.

When I try the ignition all accessories turn on and I can hear the fuel pump but the car does nothing. No crank, not even a click. Battery is charged fully.

What would this be?

Starter/Solenoid?
Clutch Safety Switch?
Relay?

All of the above would be a good place to start...

I would check the wiring to starter/solenoid first, then the clutch switch... Those should be fairly easy visual inspections...you may need a volt meter though for testing the switch.

Hey any idea if this problem could cause the ECU to go bad?

I don't think the starter solenoid would cause an ECU failure...normally the ECU capacitors just go bad over time...with that said, if the capacitors go bad on the ECS (suspension controller) they can cause an ECU malfunction.
