What year is your car? If it has an alarm, it may be that your alarm disabled the starter. However, this happened to my daughter's 91 Grand Am and it was her alternator AND her starter. Symptoms if starter - no clicking noise on start attempt, after jumping vehicle it still will not start. Symptoms if alternator - lights will go out, not come on or get dim. Another possibility is you may need a new battery. Go to Autozone or Advanced Auto and have your battery checked FIRST. If it is fine, and your car ACTS like it wants to start but will not crank, have the alternator checked. Toi
If the problem is your anti theft system there will be a security light flashing on the instrament panel. This means your anti theft system suspects someone is trying to steal your car and will shut down the starter for 10 minutes. Wait until the light stops flashing before trying to start the car. This is a common problem with grand am's. I got tired of always waiting 10 minutes before being able to start so I disabled it by cutting the yellow wire behind the radio. The light stays on steady but it starts every time. This may also shut off the light for your radio screen.
