Is the anti-theft light lit ? Is the starter relay good ? Do you know what a relay is ? Are the battery cables good ? I would start will the starter relay circuit's if the anti-theft light is not lit.! The starter relay along with the starter relay diode is located in the battery junction box in the engine compartment. The relay is K-22 . If you pull out the relay an look on the bottom of the relay you should see four sets of numbers 30,87 an 85 ,86 . If you take a jumper wire (12-14 gage ) an jump pins 30 an 87 if the battery cables & connections are good the starter will crank . Pin's 85 &86 are the control side of the relay . One of these comes from the ignition switch when is start position an the other goes through the transmission range sensor (park neutral switch) To ground or the PCM if yours has a V-8 . Now if when you jump pins 30 & 87 an nothing happens you have bad connections or the battery cable is bad . You can go on youtube an check out videos on voltage drop testing the starter circuit .

Why wont vehicle start?

There are many, many reasons why a car wont start and it is very difficult to give you advice because of this. You are better to have it transported to a local car repairer and they will be able to work out what is wrong.

Car wont crank over fron ignition andit cranks over when jumping the starter but still wont start

Could be your ignition switch itself not relaying to coil. I dont know vehicle specifics but there should be a wire from coil to dash, on fords it is red and baby blue if I remember right. Check this it may be grounding itself out.

2003 trailblazer has new battery, but will not crank but all dash lights come on

Check the starter, check the cable that goes from the battery to the starter. make sure its tight and not loose. take a hammer and tap on the starter. If the vehicle still doesn't start. Change the starter.
