Default need some help!

ok guys so heres the low down. my ej6 was running fine on the way to Honda and back when i pulled in the drive way turned off the car parked it. 10 minutes later i go to start my car and nothing happens. the radiator fan turns on and a weird noise comes from the main relay behind the glove box. i popped the hood and looked around didnt see anything out of the ordinary. sometimes when i try to turn it on the starter will click for a second and then nothing happens. thought it might be my ground so i went and got a new one. nothing changes! when i put a wire onto the bolt of the starter and touch the engine mount the fan turns on and a click noise occurs (sounds like when you touch two jumper cables together lol ) from around the battery or fusebox area ( no its not the starter). maybe the cellenoid? any body know what the problem could be? i need to get to work tommorow!

sounds like a starter, tap on it with a hammer (you will also need a long extension) while someone else tires to start your car, if it starts fine then get a new starter. you don't have to crush the thing just moderate hits about 6 inches of swing maximum.

try switching your starter relay with a known good one, if not check the neutral safety switch, if you can get it rolling and try to catch it in gear see if it starts, just be careful not to roll it into a place where you're screwed if it still doesnt start haha
