Evening, looking for a little advice, last night, my girlfriends car worked fine, turned over, drove like normal. Today, she goes to leave for work, and it won't start. I get home, try it myself, power's good, all dash lights, interior, radio, etc, gas-good, rolled car back a few feet (check for bad spot on solenoid, but nothing. I mean not even a click, no grinding, nothing as far as cranking goes. She says the same thing happened with her, not a peep from the engine. So I'm assuming we're talking about a bad starter, Could it perhaps be the ignition switch? I checked the fuse and relay already, no help. Please let me know what you think asap, we both work, and have school, with a baby on the way, and we got to get this girl running again asap. Thank you.

Could be a bad starter/solenoid. Check for 12 volts at the small wire on the starter with key in crank position. If it has power then the starter needs to be replaced. If none, then get back to me and we will figure out where it stops.
