My car keeps having problems starting... the lights and radio are on. I got a jump it started but the next morning would not start agian.(not turning over ..silent) I replaced the battery, ignition and ignition switch, starter relay switch, battery connection cables. The alternator is about a year old so I didnt replace it. What else could cause the car not to fire up?

Forget the alternator. That doesn't do anything until after the engine is running. First shift to neutral and try to start the engine. If that doesn't work, have a test light or digital voltmeter handy so we can take some measurements. You'll need to remove the starter relay from its socket in the under-hood fuse box, then we'll take four readings with the aid of a helper.
