Why won't my car start?
My car was going great until I got in it this morning and it refused to start. There's not even a clicking noise you get when the battery is dead me and my son pushed it and it started but turned off again.
Everything else works - the dash lights come on and the battery is ok - but when you turn the key nothing happens.

Stuck starter motor. Failed starter motor relay (otherwise it would click).
