Yeah always start with the simple stuff first, like the battery. You may have power going to places but possibly not enough to engage the starter properly...

Check if u are getting power to the starter when turning the key to the start position.

If the battery is dead or really low, then the car won't crank but could possibly light up the accessories of the car.

firebirdws6ls1, welcome to LS1tech!

Turn on the headlights then try to start it. Do the headlights dim down?

YES: The starter is engaging but cannot turn the engine. See if the engine will turn by hand.

NO: The starter is not engaging. Check everything electrical in the starter circuit(s).

Good luck!
