Question My car begun to not crank a couple of days ago and after awhile it would start right away.
I bought a new battery, thinking that was the problem, but now it won't start or crank at all.
Any suggestions.
Answer It could be the electrical switch behind the key, the park/neutral switch(automatic trans) the clutch switch(manual trans) a bad starter, poor quality electrical connections to the starter solenoid. Trace/verify/eliminate those, and you most likely will find the problem.
