i went to my car this morning and when i turn the key nothing happens. the dome light still works and its never showed signs of a bad battery before. anyone know of anyting else it might be or is it probably the battery.

might want to atleast check battery connections for corrosion or being loose.

Try to get a jump start and take it to autozone they'll check it for free and could tell you what you need.......Good Luck!!

should also check battery selenoid, its the white round thing that connects to the positive battery cable, it should have 2 connections on it, bridge it with a screwdriver and try turning the car on again

battery tested good. autozone said it was fine, a little low but fine. it was on the charger all day then i put it back in the car still the same thing. so i tried it again and again and again. finally it worked just fine started right up. it dosent work then it will start then it wont, i dont know, but im thinking it must be some kind of relay or somthing thats just sticking.

could be the switch that makes you have to push the clutch before you start it. Cant remember wat its called. Or the starter hanging up.

Might be the key cylinder in your steering column?

Starter relay is beat..........
Try jumping across it with screwdriver, see if engine turns.
If it does, turn key to 'on' position and do it again with relay, if car still don't start key swicth is bad..........
