80Q--No Start

[Robinson, Michael/SJC]

Did you try jumping it?
Should start it right up or help you diagnose wether the battery is bad.  A
voltmeter would work too.

MY 1990...if that matters!!

Help!!  My car is in a parking lot and will not start at the moment!!

I had been driving the car all day with no problems...then stopped at this
store quick to check something and went back out to leave!!  I was out of
the car for only about 2 minutes!!

Turned the key and it turned over once and then nothing!!  Okay no big deal
try it again nothing...no turning over and no "clicking".  It's like there
is no power going to the starter...NOTE it is a 5-spd....SO the auto
selector lever switch is NOT it!!

I tried it occasionally while waiting to get picked up and....still the
same...nothing!!  It seems to me that it is the ignition switch but that is
only about two months old!!  I'm thinking battery at the moment because I
don't know how old it is but I would think I would still get some "clicking"
from the starter(like I did last time I suddenly lost a battery)!!

Any thoughts....Any BTDT's

TIA!!!
