Default No Start!!! Help Help Help!

Hey all!

I bought a 92 Audi 100s a few months back. Been loving it and it's been driving great - drive it like 60 miles a day min. The other night I went out for some food, got back, ate food, went to sleep. The next morning I went out and it would not start. The radio, windows and everything work fine so it doesn't seem to be a battery issue but it simply won't turn over. I turn the key and there's nothing, not even a whirring noise.

Anyone got any ideas? I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!

Hmm, how would I check if the starter got d/c'd Sorry, but I'm not a great mechanic or anything.

I would say you have a bad battery cable or starter. Have one of your buddies try to start it and you shake the cables on the battery, start with the ground off the battery then the power wire. This is called the wiggle test, if it magically starts or bumps over its a wiring issue. If nothing happens you need to test voltage at the starter while trying to crank it.
