It started and drove perfectly, until late last night/early this morning (7-4-22). I drove it to work just fine, and I also drove it once while at work with no issues. Then after getting off and trying to go home maybe 20-30 minutes after I last started and drove it. I go to start it and nothing. All my electrical and dash lights and everything work fine. But when I try to crank it, nothing happens. Doesn't even crank or anything. Please help me figure this out.

It sounds like the starter motor went bad. To be sure we need to use a test light and hold it on the trigger wire on the starter solenoid, then have a helper turn the ignition key to crank and see if the test light illuminates. If so, the starter is bad and needs replacement. This guide can help, and I have included how to change the starter out in the diagrams below:

Check out the diagrams (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.
