When I tried to start the car it sounded as if the battery may have been bad. When the car started and I turned off the ignition it restarted right away no problem. I cleaned the battery post and terminals. It started but still sounded as if the battery may be bad. After a few minuets it would not start. I took the battery in for replacement and they told me that the battery was 60 percent charged. I had the battery charged and car still will not start. All the electrical systems seem to be working. Light do not blink when I try to start car. Any suggestions as to what may be the problem.

If battery is charged and car will not rotate, and you have clean contact on battery, then main fusible link may have blown. This guide can tell for sure whats going on to fix it.

I did clean the battery post and tested the fuses. I have corrected the problem. Turns out the STARTER was bad. Once I replaced the starter it is now starting. Problem solved. Mmprince4000 thanks for your reply and advice.
