You meant the engine doesn't want to crank, when you hit the key or it cranks and refuses to start or acts like it wants to.

Lets just start with the basics-the battery is it any good and is the connections clean and tight also at the starter side.

Do you have a voltmeter, the test light don't give us the amount of voltage, it only tells that it has power?
