Sounds like you have a bad contact at the battery terminal. Clean it off real good and put it back. Same with the terminal on the starter.

x2 this has happen to us on more then one occasion. Have no idea why just removing the wires and putting them back on works.

I'm sure we have cleaned them before we put them on...

the terminals are clean the cables are pretty much new i called autozone and my warranty is still good so i'm gonna go have them check it and if thats the prob then just get a new 1 i'm pretty sure its the starter cuz i tried to jump the trigger to a 12v source and nothing happened

Glad to hear it was a easy fix.

I hate electrical problems...
