      Try disconnecting the battery, and put another battery in it's place.

      I had a bad "Cell" once in my battery. It tested okay, but wouldn't do anything when I turned the key. Ended up replacing the starter and all of the battery cables before I found out that it was just the battery ~alone~ that was bad :mad:

            When I had the bad battery, I had a towtruck attempt to jump my car over and it still didn't work. IF I would have just disconnected the battery, it would have started right up when the towtruck had the jumpers hooked up. The battery was sending a bad connection to the starter and nothing would have kicked it over as long as the cables were hooked up to it.

            It's just a guess though...
