Subject:Batt is 100% - no crank/starter doesn't turn

Chuck,
    I'd say keep your diagnosis simple, you've removed the battery now check
the ignition switch (it's a little plastic switch on the steering column).
Then start working around to the starter.  I have a hard time believing your
starter would just stop working without any pre-warning.  When I have a
problem I look through the parts at the online retailers and see what they
are selling as these are most likely the parts that fail.

Good Luck

I'm sitting in my garage helpless....I've confirmed that my 10 mo old
Interstate batt is at 100%
There isn't any crank at all - starter doesn't turn or make any noise...need
help....does this Dx indicate it's time to replace the
starter...Thanks...Chuck
