    Need help ASAP, won't start or crank.

    It's my DD. Got back from work after driving for 30 minutes or so, parked it close to the house to unload my stuff and turned it off. Unloaded my stuff into my house and then tried to start it again, couldn't have been off for more than 10 minutes, lights were off. Key turns on all the lights but won't start. Push started it and it ran fine, parked it and it won't start again. No noise, starter doesn't even try, I turn the key and nothing happens.

    That could be no main power or start signal to the starter, a bad engine to chassis ground strap, a bad ignition switch, or a bad starter. The first things to do are to see if the ground is good, if the starter has main power, and if the start signal is present when the key is turned to start.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

        A meter is the best way to check for power at the starter. For the ground strap, pull it off and clean the connections.
