Is it cranking? Or do you get a big nothing at all when you turn the key?

I think it's your ignition switch. If you wanna replace it, this may help.

Not the key lock Todwic. If it's in the collum it's the switch that is behind the tumbers. Think you can get to it from the rear.

You should do that, I'm curious as to how good I am for spotting a good wine.

ook i got it fixed i used a test wire and ran it from the battery to the starter and it started so all it is,is the ignition switch so instead of putting a new one in i installed a button to start my car. i drilled a whole in my glove box right behind the door on the left hand side and put it right there. it actually works great. at first i was worried about someone taking it but the key has to be turned to on for it to start. thanks for the help though everyone!
