Just had the car started, shut if off for 10 minutes then now it won't start. Manual transmission, can't start it in gear or in neutral either. No clicks, but the dash lights, headlights, interior lights all turn on.

Check your clutch safety switch. They are known to pop off or go bad. Real easy to swap or bypass. Luck to you
