electrical problem + no start

[mmasse]

Yesterday when I wanted to pull into my garage my 911 76 refused to start.

The battery is ok and lights work, but when I turn the key nothing happens. Now, here is when the strange thing comes on, when I press the brake pedal the tachometer needle move up to top RPM. WHAT"S GOING ON???



Thanks

Any ideas??

More on it. When I turn the ignition on. If I touch enything electrical (e.g. power windows, etc) the RPM needle moves. No idea is this is related to the no-starting problem but it doesn't seem normal.

Also, if i push the car, it starts and everything seems to work normal.

Please HELP!!!

Last week there was a similar thread on pinpointing the cause of this same symptom. Could be:

Battery
Starter Solenoid and/or starter
Ignition switch
Circuit connections to/from any of the above.

Tach jumping could be normal under the circumstances. Concentrate on the no-start symptoms first.
