first off, the battery is brand new, alternator is good, and so is the starter (i had them tested at schucks anyways). as far as i can tell all the grounds are clean. when i put the key in nothing happens, it doesnt turn over, no lights come on, nothing, the starter doesnt try to turn either. the other day i had a friend jump it and it started up like that, i was shocked to see it start so easily because it hasnt been driven in a year. i let it run for 10 minutes and shut it off, when i tried to restart it there was a click, probably the starter. it wouldnt start, every attempt to start it after that gave less and less results until the interior lights stayed off.

im at a loss and cant take it to a shop because i dont have the money for a tow or service charge. about ready to sell it as is for whatever i can and get some beater.

Jump it and it starts...sounds like a bad connection or the battery. I know it was tested but? What is the voltage of the main cable AT the starter and what happens to that voltage when someone turns the key?
4 or 6 cyl-auto or manual?
