If the "eye" is bad then the car still wont start. Thats what happened to me. Does your security light stay on?

 

I have an aftermarket security system and the car has only done this 4 times in the last 6 months. I didnt notice anything, but I'll check next time it happens.

do the lights pop up on the dash? idiot lights?

you said no humming no spinning sounds? when my starter went out it sounded like a mini fan when i tried to turn it on.

if no idiot lights, im putting a wager on the column ignition switch, cause thats what happened for me. i forget if my radio worked you can take a peak at my thread it was about Feb 29 of 2004 that i got that sob out of there.. and went on a 1 day delayed vacation up to the mountains... it was terrible tho took me so many hours and by the time i got the screw in my arms and body were so tireless i couldnt put the coulmn back in, had to wait till morning
