Hello, I'd have to make sure the battery has a full charge and the battery connections are all clean and tight on all ends. Then I might try to jump the starter solenoid, to see if the starter will crank. I have used a screwdriver, but, a remote starter button works ok, the leads are probably long enough, so you can get out from under the vehicle. No matter what tranny you have, make sure it is in park or neutral and the e-brake is set. You connect the leads to the solenoid bat terminal and the smaller terminal, probably purple wire, hit the button and it should crank, if it doesn't, I pull the starter and check some more. You got to have good voltage and ground at the starter. If you get the starter off, some of the name brand autostores will test the starter.
