Last week, my car wouldn't start. I called for roadside assistance, got a jump and it stared. The guy said I needed to clean one of the battery post which had corrusion on it. I had it cleaned. The other day my car did the same thing only this time it won't start even with the jump. Roadside assistance said it might be the selonoid switch. What do you think?

No crank at all/nothing/nada:

Could be the starter, starter relay, park and neutral switch/clutch switch and ignition switch assuming the battery and connections are good.
