He can turn the key, just nothing happens when he does. The engine doesn't even turn over. The car is in perfect running condition, except for this problem. We just checked the battery and its fine. Still have no idea whats going on.:goodjob:

No, the starter works. But the engine is still down. sorry about the confusion.

And he says the cluster light was broken a while ago. but that shouldn't change anything, Right? http://forums.importatlanta.com/images/smilies/confused.gif

Called our friend, told him what was what and he said the switch was the only thing we hadn't tried. So a hour later and its being fixed and all is well. Thanks for the tips and I just read the posts and damn man, Street Speed you called it.
