Default 93 si won't start

OK I think it's the starter.

I drove home from work all good yesterday. Could not get in the driveway cause wife parked car in front so i parked on street for about 1 hour, went out to put in garage and would not start (no power, nothing when turned in on or start position) I checked the battery and it's good. Dose anyone know what it is or is it the starter?

make sure your alternator has its belt.

Do you happen to own a voltmeter?

Did you hear a clicking noise?

Can you turn on the radio?

How did you test the battery?

Check to see if the battery cables are tight.

Try jumping it and if it still has no power then it sounds like the main relay.

It also could be that the alternator died on the way home and the battery was running the ignition.

I would take the battery in and have it checked. If it is good then look for loose wires. Then check the relays.

Is it a stick? Can you push start it? If you can, it is most likely the starter. If you don't hear the starter solenoid even try to get it moving, it is probably dead.

1- herd no clicking noise nothing when tried to turn on
2- No radio no anything clock nothing
3- First check the battery terminals to see if loose, then cleaned them, the put the jumpers on my car and got speark, then tried to jump start. Nothing
4- they are tight

The alternator makes sense but i got power to the battery and jumped it and did nothing not even the radio or clock or anything.

Would the starter being dead allow the whole electrical system not work?

No. If the starter went dead then you would stil be able to run your radio and lights. Check the main relay.

I was looking thru the manual wiring diagram and if the starter is dead nothing will get power. I just talked to my buddy and his starter went and had no power.
