If your clutch/brake safety switch has failed you should get an indication on your display at start up.
If I understand the Battery Safety Terminal, it can disconnect the starter/alternator, and still leave power to the electronics. (usually in the event of an accident) http://www.rfdm.com/tis/12_42_540.pdf
Failing batteries seems to be epidemic. Maybe the battery voltage is too low to engage the starter. Will it jump start?
GL and don't get frustrated!
