Basically, when I go out to start it, it won't turn over. All of the lights come on and the battery gauge looks fine, but it won't even attempt to turn over. It does absolutely nothing. I thought it might be the battery terminals, so I took them off and cleaned them but its still doing it, not as much though. Any ideas about what I can do to fix it?

Can you hear the fuel pump prime??

A whine from the back. If the fuel pump isn't priming, check to see if there's a security light lit up on the dash. If there's not, I'd expect that your ignition switch is bad. ON JACKSTANDS, turn the key on and jump the starter iwht a screwdriver. if it starts and runs, ignition switch replacement time. ON JACKANDS, ALL FOUR TIRES IN THE AIR if you do that.
