I just bought a 1997 talon. It started fine and drove it home. Later when I tryed to start it, it would not even turn over, All the lights work strong but not even a click. What am I in for? Starter? relay? bad connections? I need help as funds ar really tight. Thanks, Lowell

Load test the battery to check its condition if okay do the same with alternator -if okay -you probably have a short somewhere within the electrical system draining the battery overnite-see below battery drain test

Could be the ignition switch, park and neutral switch, starter relay and starter itself
