Melissa/Tony Welcome to the club. Looks like you've gotten some good suggestions already. I've had starter problems 4 different times over the last 3 years, all different reasons. 1. Battery - In December I had to replace my battery which tested fine on a battery charger but had no amperage to push. A jump will usually identify this one. 2. Short on the long battery-to-starter cable. Probably wouldn't have happened all of a sudden for you, but if you saw your alternator light flicker yesterday before shutting down, could be. 3. Wire popped off the back of the solenoid. 4. Starter needed rebuilt but even in this condition, if I gave it a jump from my auxilary batteries, I could get it to go. If you have a Bentley, it gives some pretty good advice for eliminating the different components. Hope you're already up and running, my guess is the battery. Best Wishes, Jim Sperl
