Are you sure the battery is good, have you tried using a mutimeter?

my gauge on my jeep reads fine, a little low, but still fine. N o cranking. i turn my switch, and hear what i believe to be my fuel pump turn on, and turn the key and nothing.

Have your friend turn the key while you tap the starter with a hammer.

i tried banging it around, but no one was turning the key. say i do get help, and it turns over after that, what does that mean?..does that mean i need a new starter??

check your battery terminals, for corrosion or a loose connection. This happened in my jeep. I put the key in and when I turned the key on the fuel pump would prime and when I went to turn it over it did nothing. Ended up getting new terminals and no problem since.

Yep. Banging on it will work for a while if it's not too far gone but takes two people turning the key and hitting it at the same time....., if that does work it probably wont last too much longer. You can take it out and have it tested to see if its good or not, then you'll know for sure if its the starter or not.

X 2 on the battery terminals, had that problem before...
