Car not starting
When I turn the key all the lights/ radio come on. When I push the start button the starter isn't cranking. Looks like battery/ alternator are good. Trying to narrow down to if its the button itself or the starter. Was able to start with push start. Question is are the start buttons known for going bad?

Hit the starter with a long metal pipe then try. Mine has been sticking lately - luckily being fixed under warranty as was recently replaced during the clutch job

Re: Car not starting
I've never heard of the start button failing. Did you have the battery tested or are you just assuming? If the battery is good then check connections again and check your grounds. Also try what Arsenal said if you haven't already.

Checked fuses the manual listed and all good. I'm going to replace the battery since it is past warranty. Going to remove the starter and have it tested at Oreilly.
