Ive looked all over SM for people with same problem. Most of them where grounding issues. I checked and double checked all the grounds and the starter which all are hooked up, but still when i turn the key to start nothing happens. The battery is bran new and its driving me insaine. Some one told me to try and close the all the door and the hood and lock the car with the key to reset the security, but Im a one man crew right now and its pretty hard to bolt a hood and align it by myself. Any info would be great.

Thanks
Drew

Check and see if the starter is even drawing when you turn to crank. Check the voltage drop when you're cranking. Check the voltage drop between the battery and the solenoid wire (the small wire going to the starter). Try wiggling the main power to the starter, see if it's a bad connections. Check battery terminals. If you turn the key do you get any sort of click from the relay in the passenger's side? Do you get a click from the starter solenoid?
