Re: car won't start

Battery dead? Have you checked the neutral saftey? Is the switch itself bad? Will it turn over and not start or just you turn the key and nothing happens? When you turn the key to the on possition do any lights come on, headlights, horn, ect?? Need more info.

Do you hear any sounds when you try to crank it?

Fuel cutoff switch. If it's been tripped then you might as well be out of gas. No fuel flow till its reset.
