For some reason here lately when i get up to go to work in the mornings my car wont crank. ill turn the key over and it doesnt do ANYTHING. it has power all the lights and cd player comes on and ive tried jumpin it off but it doesnt do anything. and when i get back home from work itll crank right up. not makin this up either its crazy. Any suggestions

 

in the am when it doesnt crank, beat on the starter. no i am not kidding.

 

check the starter by jumping it with a good battery to see if it turns over. If not check your main relay

 

does the main relay have anything to do with cranking? i cant remember.

yes ain relay has the fuel pump and starter rely packaged insde it

 

usually when they fail on me its the fuel ecu side. never paid attention to the starter relay being on the other. he hee.

 

had the same problem, beat the starter, nothing. changed the starter, nothing. it was the ignition switch. put a volt meter to the signal wire to the starter and crank it and see if you get 12v coming out. if not then the contacts inside the ignition switch went bad
