rods 5/30/2010need more info. when you say you have power, do you mean inside the car? as in the lites and guages work? -
rods 5/30/2010is the car all the way in park? try it. / is the battery fully charged/ are the connections clean and tight/
triciahugenschmidt 5/31/2010yes tried all of these things. all lights and gauges work inside the car. cant get the crank to manually turn over either. could it have anything to do with the drive train because it was being driven on the spare tire for way too long and for way too far of a distance and then somehow linked to the engine??????

ezrider303 6/23/2010check my questions& answers on my saturn in this website ! UNDER CAR QUIT WHEN I PUSHED IN THE CLUTCH ! SEE WHAT I DID & REPLACED. MY CAR STILL CLICK S WHEN I TRY TO START IT, DROVE WITH SPARE TIRE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT !! POSSIBLE A NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH WENT BAD. YOUR FUSES GOOD? BY ENGINE COMARTMENT & CONSOLE IN CAR !! MY NEXT STEP IS TO PUT NEW POSITIVE & NEGATIVE CABLES TO BATTERY . 1992-1999 THE CABLES GOT CORRODED ON THE INSIDE BUT LOOKED GOOD ON OUTSIDE MAKING POOR CONTACT. NOT GETTING ENOUGH POWER TO STARTER TO START CAR, OTHER THAN THAT ,AFTER ALL THIS IF IT DOESNT RUN ITS GOING TO THE SHOP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HouseCallAuto 6/23/2010Assuming battery and connections to battery are good.............
Check for 12 volts using a 12 volt test lamp at the small wire that attaches to the starter. This wire should have voltage (lights up the test light) while trying to start the engine only. If it lights you have a bad starter. If not you likely have a bad range sensor otherwise known as a neutral safety switch or park-neutral switch.
