When I go to start my car nothing happens. It doesnt even try to turn over. I checked the battery and it's good. What might be making it do this?

You may have a bad starter. Have a helper turn the key to the start position while you check for voltage to the smaller wire on the starter. THere should be 12v there. If there is, chances are the starter is bad, If there isn't check starter relay and wiring from battery, grounds. To see if there is a problem.
