Wouldnt you know it, just had my car checked front to back, up and down, and even had a brand new Diehard Gold battery put in and tonight myu damn car wouldnt start[:@]!! I parked for about three minutes came back to my car, turned the key and nothing!! Waited a few minutes and still wouldnt start. Got out looked at the battery connectinos and they are all solid, tried again and nothing, it didnt even try to kick over. I have noticed that the battery reading when the car is running is a little high but didnt think anything about it. Came back 10 minutes later and the damn thing started right up! Ran it for a few minutes turned it off, and it did the same thing, wouldnt start! What could be the problem? Alternator? Battery cables? I dont need this right now[:'(]!! Please help!!

Sounds like a starterSolenoid , Make sure the wires are tight on it. It's where the positive cable goes from the battery.
Two types of Solenoids that I know off. One mounted on the inner fender and one starter mounted.
Which ever you have just make sure the connections are tight.

Pictures of the two.

Yeah, sounds like it could be a solenoid but it could also be an ignition switch. I'd start with gettting the system checked and I think you can get it done free at Auto Zone.

 

You said the battery readings were high? Can you explain that more?
