    My car will not start!!!

    I searched, and tried everything in the searching that I have found. When I turn the key, there is no noise, no clicking or turning or anything. No response. Fusesin the engine bay are fine. Battery is good (brand new). I connected the negatives of my jump cables from the oil pan to a ground in the engine bay to check if it was a bad ground, and still nothing. I dont think my starter is bad since has been working fine the whole time. What so you all think?

    PLEAE HELP!!! :(

      Do you have power to the lights, etc.? Could be the fussable link in the trunk...

        Yes, the lights have power as normal. Everything is normal until I turn the key to start. Once I turn the key, the car acts as if I didnt even turn it. What is the fussable link in the trunk? And how does a starter get stuck?

          Ok, I just checked this link by the battery from a wire going from the battery to the front of the car and it looks like it is not burnt out. I am not sure though, but it still looks good. I have no idea. Can someone please help me?

            that means nothing. It can still be bad

            Verify:

            1) battery voltage at starter cable
            2) voltage from switch while cranking

              Thanks for the help. After more searching, I thought I would just tap the starter with a hammer to release it from being siezed, and it starts like normal again. Tapped it until I saw a spark that scared me, tried starting the car due to curiosity, and oila!!!! Cannot believe it!!
