start off by checking the starter, it might have seized. from there go to checking the wirring and fuses.

if something this is pretty serious.

Take the plugs out, crank the engine. The large sprays of water will let you know if there was water in there. If you hydrolocked it bad enough to shove the piston into the cylinder wall, that would make it not turn over too.

You can jump the starter solenoid by connecting it directly to the positive terminal on the battery. It's the smaller of the two wires going to the starter.

starter should be right next to your battery just follow your positive terminal there should two wires one going to your starter and one to somewhere else

okay so i found out wut was one of the problems..
one my starters that hold my bolts cracked and the starters loss
so theres nothin holdin it but the other bolt i guess...
i kicked it up with my friend holding it and it spurted out water
soo i guess either i need a new starter or i can jus weld the thing holding my bolt back..
