I was driving my car around today, and then I stopped home for a bit. I ran back out to try to start the car, and it turns over for about a half second and then stops.
When I turn the key, absolutely nothing happens. It wont turn over, but all the accesories come on. It's like I dont have my foot on the brake pedal or something (even though I do).
I'm reasonably sure it's not a dead battery. All the accesories work fine, and like I mentioned, I was driving the car around all day, no issues came up at all. I doubt the battery would work perfectly fine for months and then die in a space of about 20 minutes.
I dont think it's the starter either. This has happened before. A friend came out while we were peering under the hood, and he mentioned that one time this happened to his friend's taurus and they played around with a bunch of fuses and it eventually started up. We then did that to my car, and it worked. This may have just been pure circumstance.
Any ideas what could cause this? Anywhere for me to start looking?
