It sounds like the starter has gone bad but to be sure try to crank it over in neutral this will test the gear range sensor. We need to test if the starter trigger wire is getting power to confirm the bad starter.
Okay. Thanks. It's my son's car. He just installed a new battery within the past month. Today he tried to start it and the dashboard lights sort of flickered and it didn't turn over. He hasn't tested the starter.. he's 22.. still learning about cars.
