Stay on topic gentlemen. The drama we can do without.
..I agree with the guys above, sounds to me like the starter would be the first thing to check....WW

Exactly, my feelings are hurt. Here I try to help an old friend and this is how he reacts. I merely tried to compliment him on his new fleet.

Very simple system. Starter motor, solenoid, battery cables, battery, ignition switch and wiring, and VATS. Start eliminating things one by one, in the order from simplest to most complex. No drama, not trying to stir the croc pot.....

That's what I said, begin with the starter, move on from there. If it has power to it, pull it. If not move on, pretty simple. Didn't like that answer from what I gathered.

Stop your crying.
Yea it will not crank at all ... All the lights come on like normal..
I can hear the fuel pump prime up..
I also installed a MAM Vats bypass to see if that was the issue it changed nothing.
I checked all the fuses all looked good.
I also tryed starting it in neutral still nothing...
From reading all i can find is locked up starter or a wire is grounding out somewhere?
Is there any other causes to this problem? Thx,
Also any pictures or video anyone might need i can provide.

No, he's hanging on to that, it doubles as a night light in his bedroom. I wonder if he sold the Lemans Bluse C6 he tells everyone else he owns as well?

What's sad is that he calls people out as acting like 8 year olds when even my 5 year old Grandson knows it wrong to lie. I could post links to his profiles on other sites where he makes claims about owning exotic C6 Vettes but I won't. Thus ends another chapter of drama.
