was this ever solved?, I have same problem with my 2000 modle no start contact.

does your anti theft light flash?

check for starter relay, possibly in the box under the hood..also check all fuses

Agree with Tbone. In addition, check the small wire going to the starter, the one with the plastic connector insulator, for battery voltage when a helper turns the key to start. If no voltage, check for defective clutch/neutral safety & ignition switch. Also for an open circuit in that wire! OR--------- If this is a manual shift, roll start and take it to a MECHANIC!! If auto. shift, have it TOWED!!
