Default can't get car to start??

So tonite i try to start my car (06 WRX) to leave my cousins house and go home and i turn the ignition and the car wont crank or start. i tried over and over. I dont think its my battery because its a new car and i my clock, cd, lights all work.i disconnected my battery just in case for 15 minutes and tried again and no luck. I have no idea what it
is. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Niko

have you looked under the hood for any thing disconnected?
have you made any recent changes to the car?
what mods do you have?

k ill check in the morning for anything disconnected. Nope, no new mods recently since months and months. Snowman (re-tune.. just fixing up slight numbers and checkin Air-flow ratios)tune weeks ago but i highly doubt its got anything to do with ECU for starting my car.

have your got it to start yet?

if not make sure you push the clutch in .

on a serious note maybe try another key could it be something to do with the chip in the key .

that sucks man i hope you get it fixed and its just something stupid and easy to fix.

Like I said on the phone earlier, check the clutch switch located down on the pedal assembly. Also see if your getting any voltage to the starter solenoid when the key is turned.
