Is the starter visible on an LS1? It sure isn't on a V6. It'd be very difficult to hit the starter, let alone get to it.
Anyone have any experience that's kind local that could help me swap it out?

That's why it seems so easy. Not so easy for me.

Yep. Battery probably has enough voltage for the lights just not to crank the starter over. Happened on my mustang and my TA.

I'm gonna see about getting my battery tested/charged/replaced but I'm thinking it may be my starter...
I'd need some assistance with replacing it. Anyone in San Antonio area willing to help me out?

You have to get the car rolling and pop the clutch in 1st or 2nd gear. Roll it down hill if you can. I've done it to my TA and my Mustang before.

Battery test at vatozone proved the battery is fine. Fully charged. Told the lady (she's the manager) what happened.
"Single click when you turn the key?"
me- "yes."
"Starter."
damn.
She put in an order for me to get the part. She said she could keep her store open till midnight tonight so I could get the part tonight, but I told her I wasn't going to work on the car with no light, so tomorrow morning would be okay. Which works out nicely. I only have one class in the morning, just gotta suck up the embarrassment of working on my car in the middle of a parking lot in the middle of the day. Lol.
$159 bucks at vatozone for a new starter. Tis fail. I was told not to buy from there, but... really... it's just too convenient not to.

Friends that live off campus are to lazy to come over here either.
...
I need new friends.
lol
haha yea friends are always there whent hey need something, but never there when YOU need them. You and one other person could pop the clutch. Turn the key on, put it in N. both of you push it to about 5 mph.. then get it, press clutch, put in 1st, release clutch.
It will spin the engine forcing it to start. At least then you could drive it home to work on it in the garage
