    You need to say more than that. Does your car have spark? Have you checked for fuel? There are way too many possibilities, just start with the basics though.

    Check List for bad connections


    > clean battery post connections
    > check starter wire connections (clean/remove corrosion on connectors)
    > check ground wires for corrosion(I think there are 3?)
    > check curcuit fuse for ingnition system
    > check for possible faulty wiring to ingition swith and to starter motor

    If not:

    - solinoid could be faulty (replace)
    > starter motor could be faulty(replace)
    - ingition switch possibly faulty

    turn your headlights on and see if there bright. That will tell you if the battery is good or not. It should be 12.7v if you test it.
