Won't start, help please
 
Ok, so I drove home from work yesterday and ran inside real quick to grab something and run an errand. Go back out to the car and nothing, not even a click from the starter. The fans/dash/radio do come on. The battery on the car is less than a week old. Alternator is prob. 3 months old and I had it checked when the new battery was put in. Also new battery terminal ends for the battery. It started fine @ work and 20 min later I get nothing. Any ideas.

If the starter didn't click, it's probably bad. Remove it and take it to autozone to be tested. Could be as simple as a frayed wire going to the starter, but you won't know that until you're down there looking at it.

no, it's an auto. It's stranded in front of the house thankfully.

It's been raining most of the day so I haven't been able to really do anything. I plan on checking any starter fuses and relays before I remove the starter. Any idea on where the relay is? The fuses I know will be labeled in the fuse box.

Starter relay is in the driver's side wheel well. Peel back the rear-most splash shield and it'll be clipped into a bracket in there.

also could be a bad connection where the battery cable meets the starter i believe. i'd check that one out, but it's not as likely as what has alreay been discussed.
