If you got automatic,try the neutral start switch inthe shifter housing.Try
starting in neutral.Wiggle the wires at the starter motor.Maybe try pushing
the ignition switch plug on,again.Tap the starter with a hammer.The starter
solinoid gets corroded in its cylinder.It is a plunger that is
electromagnetically operated. tap it and maybe it will unstick(for a time
or two).
