It depends on the car and you will still have the steering wheel lock to deal with. Newer cars do not like being hot wired. You can break the steering column but that seems excesive. Wiggle the steering wheel as you try and turn the key.
If the battery is good and the starter is good, then you must have a wire disconnected somewhere.
check your wiring, if all your wiring is good then test your ignition relay, if its not the starter, not the battery, and not the wiring there's only one thing left. Good Luck with the repair
Check your ingnition cylinder ...
Same thing happened to my 94. Turn your ignition to the on position and take a screwdriver and bridge the two terminals together on the starter. If it turns over it needs a new ignition switch. Good luck on that. They are a pain to replace.
If it does not turn over, but the lights work, you have a bad starter.
its either the starter or your ignition
This could be a bad ignition switch, ignition relay, or ignition fuse.
If the battery is good and the starter is good, then you must have a wire disconnected somewhere.
I have a 1997 grand am and i have power to the starter but when i turn the key over it wont in gauge the starter. all fuses are good. You may have a defective ignition switch.
loose wire somewhere from ignition switch to starter.
Check power from your ignition, and power at the starter
my first thought would be to check the starter . if you can tap on the starter and it starts after that..you have a bad starter .
Starter, battery, battery connections, neutral switch,
may be a bad starter..... or if the engine is cranking with no start it could be the ignition wires
Bad starter or weak battery.
Dead short between ignition switch and starter solenoid trigger wire?
could be the starter
