so my car didn't start one day after work.
Towed it to my house.
I got it to kick start.
I tested the battery and it was fine.
I was 100% sure then it has to be the starter.

When the starter was still attached to the engine, I hit it a couple of times with a hammer/screwdriver and it still didn't work.

I knew then the starter must be replaced.
I took it out and just to make myself 100% sure i took it to autozone to test it out and it ended up passing!!

What else could be wrong with that car that it won't make it start.

The car doesn't even crank if that helps.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
