It wont turn over. I moved the auto shift lever a few times to make sure it was in park. That made no difference.

When I try to start it, the motor wont turn over nor do I get any clicking noise from the starter. What has me stumped is the fact that I don't have any head lights even when jump starting.

As a side note. When I removed the ground cable from the battery and put it back on the ground post I didn't see any sparks jump to the ground cable. But, there are lights on inside the car.

One other thing I'll mention, In the past, I had a problem with the ignition switch. At times, if I turned the car off and without removing the keys tried to start the car again the car would not turn over. It would only turn over if I removed the key from the ignition and re-inserted it, then, it would start.
I don't know if this is related, just thought I'd throw it out there.
