Car Won't Start, Need Help

[Wease]

I moved my 2005 Mountaineer this morning, started right up like it always does. I go to start it this afternoon and it chimes and all the electronics work, but it won't even turn over. I try to jump it and nothing. I swap batteries and still nothing. It's not even clicking when I turn the key. Could it be the starter? I'm trying to move my daughter into college today, so I need to fix this ASAP...

possible starter issue...

 

hard to tell without testing stuff, tho. i have seen a bad ground cause this aswell?

 

any way the anti theft system has kicked in?

I don't think the anti-theft has been kicked in.

take a hammer and hit the starter while someone is trying to turn it over. sometimes that will get it to unstick. and it will also tell you the starter is the issue.

Yeah, that's what I was going to try next. Thanks...

OK, figured it out. One of the wires going to the starter was broke at the connector! I cut the wire, stripped it back, crimped on a new connector, put the wire back on, and it fired right up!
