Default Car won't start

My friend owns a LeBaron and when he turns the key he gets nothing from the engine. His radio/lights work, but the engine won't start. He isn't getting a rolling of the engine either. Any ideas?

I asked him and he said that he checked all the belts and they looked normal.

Yeah, I already made fun of him for that. And no, the engine won't crank.

first..replace the battery with a new one. if that doesn't work, check ignition/starter fuses. if THAT doesn't work...roll it off a cliff.

Here is how to fix it.

1. open gas cap
2. take shop rag and place in gas tank
3. use a match or lighter to light said shop rag
4. run
5. get marshmallows for ensuing fire

I really doubt it would be something with the battery seeing as he still has the use of all his lights and his radio.

I do like the second solution, though.
