I drove my car last night and then I go to start it up this morning and it won't make a sound when I turn the key. The lights and radio still work though. Any ideas? It doesnt click or anything. Starter?

Get both the battery and alternator load tested-make sure its cleaned and tightened. If it continues -check for a short circuit within the electrical system

Put it in neutral and try to start it. Mine does the exact same thing sometimes.

Yeah, I think there is something wrong with the shift linkage because I turned my wheels straight with the car off and it started right up. Thanks
