Sounds to me like no juice....maybe just a bad battery or alternator

you should goto autozone and rent a code scanner.

if the check engine light is on then there should be some useful info there.

could be just a blown fuse or something small.

thanks everyone...!

i just got back...well never even made it there b/c i got more info....

she took the dog with her to the carwash and left everything on for who knows how long...and the battery ran down just enough that it would not start the car

the lights later dimmed out so she just got a jump from some guy
got lucky...!

thanks again
