check the battery and connections first. it sounds like it ran out of battery power to keep systems up.

If it doesn't crank, the battery is probably run down. Measure the battery voltage and holler back. You might try charging it at a slow rate for an hour too, then see if it cranks.

AHHH! Don't hit the starter, (except out of frustration). They use permanent magnets instead of field coils. They warn against hitting them in the training video because the glue can crack and let the magnets fall off. Then she's junk.
If you want to hit a starter, find a Ford.
