You try to jump start the car? If so, what happened when you tried to jump it?

all of the dash lights come on...we tried jumpstarting it...and i dont think its the battery...e changed all of the ground wired directly comming out of the battery....i think its the starter or the solinoid
Do you hear a clicking noise at least?

Maybe the clutch sensor or the ignition switch. Electrical stuff is difficult to pinpoint.
Your starter is gone, simple as that. Its easy and about $80-$100 later, your on your way.

Its the solonoid on your starter, there is a bendix ppring insiedt that runns on a copper plate, when the copper plabe starts to get coroded tthe power transfer from the bendix to teh drive motor has more resiance, untill you dont have enough power to turn the starter motor. Replace the starter and it will be taken care of.

You can still start the car even if the started just clicks
YOU PUSH IT .. or take a hammer and kcik the shit out of the started twice and it will start turning
