Re: Ok trying new approach. Free 12 pack and large pizza anyone willing to come help me!
always start with the most simple just to make sure you eliminate everything.
have you tried jumpstarting it. if it won't even jumpstart, make sure the battery is good. maybe use a spare or friends battery to make sure yours isn't completely toast. batteries can get so bad they won't even take a jumpstart. now if with jumpstarting or a different battery, nothing works, then see if you have power (do your lights work, horn, radio, etc..) if you do, then make sure your starter didn't go out which will cause it not to crank. if the starter checkes out fine, then it could be the NSS switch (might be stuck between gears and won't even allow you to start it with the shifter wiggle or in neutral. rare, but can happen), or something in the ignition.
if you have the skill, or know somebody that can help you, you could try to turn the key on, and jump the starter with a remote push button starter (available in some part stores fairly cheap). if that works, then you are not getting power between your ignition and starter.
for the light staying on, i'm tempted to say that's not related, but it could still be. i've seen electronics do weird stuff with dead or fried batteries.
and specially with the cold weather now, the battery fits the time frame. batteries and alternators are the #1 seller during winter.
