Hi bevcol,

Did you check the battery?

If jumpstarting works, the battery could be bad or drained.

Does jumpstarting works? If not, it could be the starter or ignition switch.

Disconnect the starter solenoid wire and attach a remote wire to apply voltage. If starter does not crank, it is faulty.
