HELP! Car won't start!

It started just fine when I left school to go to a gas station and now it does absolutley nothing when i go to start it. If the battery was dead, wouldn't the solonoid click? And I just replaced the starter a month ago. What gives?

Re: HELP! Car won't start!

Got it fixed. Took the starter off n had it tested, wound up fine. I was about to put the starter back on, and I noticed the terminals were actually loose, which doesn't make much sense to me, but I tried to tighten them down the best I could and put it back on. Started up. I dunno, guess Advance sold me a bad starter last month. Hopefully it will hang in there till December when I take another shot at swapping in the LT-1.
