Sry didn't have a lot of time to search the forums for this: S14 wont start, battery at 100%, accessories and lights work but absolutely no crank. Thinking starter, but wanted to know if I should look at other alternatives first. HELP! Thanks

Most likely your starter.

If your battery is a 100% (meaning 12V, which I hope you tested) and you hear no clicking sound, then it is your starter.

If your alternator was dead, then your battery wouldnt be charged and your car would try to crank over with whatever power the battery had.

Since your battery is 100% and your car wont start, replace your starter.

Hammer it if you want to see if it will turn over.

All this is considering your wiring is good, and your clutch switch is fine, or its an automatic and your alarm system isnt messing up anything.
