Tightness is fine. No Corrosion. I keep my engine bay pretty clean and look for that type of stuff. I have tools here and will remove the battery and have my wife take me to O'Reilly or Autozone to check it.

I vote battery myself and I dont trust computerized battery testers to many false positives.
I may not be able to get the battery checked tonight. At four years it is probably time for a new battery anyway. If it's not the battery I'm glad I bought the extended warranty. I need an oil change anyway so hopefully I can limp it to my friend's shop tomorrow morning and have him check her out.
Just an update. It wasn't the battery. I put a new one in and it started fine a couple times. I went to a store, came out and tried starting it and got nothing. So now she is sitting all by herself in a pet supply parking lot.
check the connections at the starter.
when you try to start it, does anything happen? any noise? lights dim? etc.
No idea where the connections are to clean them.Originally Posted by Matt
It makes no sound when trying to turn it over at all.
Are you familiar with what a starter looks like? (serious question)
If so, its pretty easy to find... bottom back of the engine. If you're handy with a voltmeter you could have someone try starting it and check for voltage. If you're not getting any power to the starter than its more than likely an ignition switch due to the inconsistent nature of the issue.
