starting issues.... once again
 
soo when i turn the key over nothing...

im getting power but the starter isnt turning over... whats after the lock cylinder and the box that goes around the lock cylinder? Im so confused on what to do to.

Maybe the ignition switch. Have you tried jumping the starter to confirm operation? You may need a schematic to test the function of your ignition switch. Check your fuses.

Your getting power (like to your headlights) but nothing when trying to start the engine. If so try cleaning your battery terminals and posts and make sure their securely mounted. Then check your batteries voltage. If that doesn't work try tapping your starter (not hard enough to damage it) and then try to start the engine. If it then does start i'd say your starter is on its way out.
