Try placing the shifter in neutral then
attempt startup.If it doesn't start,
place it back in park & try again.If
neither works,check the fuse panel(s)
located in your cabin and under the
hood (if one exists) Check all fuses
related to the starter & starting
system.If all fuses are good,check for
relays also.If starter relays are
present,look elsewhere in the panel
for another relay with an identical part
# on it and swap it in place of the
suspect relay.Dont borrow a relay
from a component thats needed for
the car to run.IOW- dont borrow a fuel
pump,pcm,ignition,etc relay since the
engine wont run without it.Make sure
your starter cable/wiring checks out
its entire length and is tight at both
ends.Sometimes a starter will give
you a warning before it goes out,but
alot of times,it does not & it just quits.
There is also a safety switch that
prevents the starter from turning over
if the transmission is not in park or
neutral,which can go out.
