Hello,

Ok, just because the Battery is Fully Charged doesn't mean it isn't Bad. Your battery can be fully charged (12.56 volt) But if the CCA's (Cold Cranking Amps) are low or non-existant then it won't turn the engine over.

I would suggest trying to Jump Start it. If it starts then you most likely need a battery. You can go by your local parts store and have them test the battery.

If still won't start then most likely it's the Starter. You can remove it and take it to your local parts store and they should be able to bench test it.
