Electrical Start Issue

So the last few months the car has been struggling to start.. I live in Florida, so it's not the cold. I would push the start button and just nothing would happen.. The car's display/radio would turn on, but the car wouldn't start. I had the dealer look into it while performing other services and they couldn't find an issue.
I then switched out my start button (which was a custom with blue LED's) to a GTR start button that I've had for awhile; figuring this would address the issue. The car does the same thing.. I'll sometimes have to hit the button numerous times to get the car to crank.
I've had the battery tested, but it's still good.. so what could this be? I had the dealer look at the starter and whatever else. Is this faulty wiring? Or something else? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanx

Are you depressing the clutch pedal all the way to the floor?

Check the clutch interlock switch

so I did a bunch of research into what the clutch interlock switch was.. and I was pretty sure that was the issue since switching out the push start button did not solve the problem. after a long time of putting it off.. i went to the dealer and got a replacement switch $38. after finally getting in the footwell today, and really assessing the problem, i decided to just adjust it with a wrench.. and that pretty much did it. now i can return the new switch.

good call telcoman

Don't bring back the switch too quick. I adjusted my switch a while back and everything was fine. When I was on vacation last week, I began having problems starting the car. I finally got the car started and while I was driving the depress clutch light illuminated on the dash. Fortunately, there was a Nissan dealer ($19.00) BTW at Nissan for the switch, and they had one in stock. I had them replace since I didn't have a 14MM wrench. They charged me $56.00 1/2 hour labor. That IMO was a bargain.
