Answer
Hi Syed -

Try getting a hammer and tapping your starter. Sometimes there is carbon build up that prevents connection. If it starts after this, change the starter. You will get a few more starts, but replce it anyway. Also ensure that all the baterry terminals and connections are clean and not corroded.

Hope this helps -
