1997 Saturn Sc2 Will not start. Sign In
I own a 1997 Saturn Sc2. I drove to get some food with some friends car was driving completely fine everything worked. I came out when to start it and nothing. Lights work everything works but it will not make a sound when it comes to start. Fuel pump kicks on everything works lights horn all electrical components work. But it will just not turn over crank or anything. Battery is good, alternator is good. Starter seems to fine. I have no idea what is going on. Ive done some research and found out it might be the ignition switch. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

How would you determine the battery, alternator and starter were good if the car doesn't crank?

1st thing is there a remote starter..... let us know.
Is the CEL light on?
Try shaking shifter and or shifting to N and starting.
What is your elec skill with a wiring diagram and test light?

And maybe answer my questions before jumping around with tests.

You can't just write off the basic components that need to be tested first.

How were these things determined to be good?
