Fuse block under the hood near the driver side fender. I think it's a 30A Maxi style fuse, but I am blank on the labeling for it...Crk or Ign I think, but not sure.

Thanks for all the replys.
It's raining cats and dogs here so i guess ill check all the things in the morning and if I can't find anything I'll have it towed to someone that's more qualified then me (lol anyone is)

OK I'm really lost now. I just went out and it started right up. I let it run about 5 minutes shut it off and now won't start same as before.

if you get it to start up again, I would suggest bringing it to somewhere or someone you trust to have it diagnosed. Car-X (around here) offers a free diagnosis for most issues.

Save a tow charge anyway.

You have either an SL, SL1 or SL2 sedan? Clutch or AT gear selector safety switch (as well as brake switch) would be the first items I'd check. If it's automatic, try unlocking the gear selector and moving the lever to "L" and back a couple of times then returning to "P" before attempting to start the engine. If that helps, the switch to replace is inside the center console.
