Ok, so I drove home from work yesterday and ran inside real quick to grab something and run an errand. Go back out to the car and nothing, not even a click from the starter. The fans/dash/radio do come on. The battery on the car is less than a week old. Alternator is prob. 3 months old and I had it checked when the new battery was put in. Also new battery terminal ends for the battery. It started fine @ work and 20 min later I get nothing. Any ideas.

 

If the starter didn't click, it's probably bad. Remove it and take it to autozone to be tested. Could be as simple as a frayed wire going to the starter, but you won't know that until you're down there looking at it.

 

is it manual? did you try giving her a push start? hope you didnt leave the Z stranded

 

no, it's an auto. It's stranded in front of the house thankfully.

 

It's been raining most of the day so I haven't been able to really do anything. I plan on checking any starter fuses and relays before I remove the starter. Any idea on where the relay is? The fuses I know will be labeled in the fuse box.

 

Starter relay is in the driver's side wheel well. Peel back the rear-most splash shield and it'll be clipped into a bracket in there.

also could be a bad connection where the battery cable meets the starter i believe. i'd check that one out, but it's not as likely as what has alreay been discussed.
