Default car wont start...

I thought it was the starter..so I took it out and took it to Autozone to have them test it and it was dead so I bought a new one and replaced it..but the car still wont start..what else could it be? Kinda new to the whole car thing and need help figuring out what it is...thanks.

yea i hooked all the wires back up...it just sounds like it wants to start...like you hear the power go on and there is this click sound..not a click click just one buzz sounding click after that its nothing. That is pretty much it.

Vang..u must be hmong..but anyways yea same problem happened to a friend of mine but it was a nissan though. They figure the problem was that there is blown fuse behind dash board something like that. You make wanna check around the wires from ignition before the firewall..

I would say either a fuse or the battery, you can take you battery to Advance Discount auto part for free testing, as for the fuses, do it yourself.

Check fuel pump, battery, starter again, check fuses, maybe ground wires.
