    Ok, i have the same problem here with my 2004 GTP. I checked all the electrical circuits with my DMM, the voltage and resistance is within spec on the starter circuit and battery. I've replaced the starter itself, tested the P/N safety switch, and tested the Ignition switch and all are working fine. I've even pulled the spark plugs one by one to see if maybe my luck was bad enough I had a Hydrolock in a cylinder but that wasn't the case. Everything acts normal but the engine will not rotate at all. I'm going to buy a breaker bar and socket today to try and rotate the motor by hand but aside from that does anyone have any more ideas? I really don't want to call an expensive tow-truck...

    LOL, so yeah the whole no start condition was such a dumb easy fix. After I ran all the tests I could think of my GF said maybe I should check the battery. So I used my DMM to check for battery voltage and got 11.4v. After humbly thanking her I charged the battery and the car ran fine. I did have the starter tested at the shop and they said it was dead so it's a good thing I installed a new one. My alternator was also out so I had to replace that one as well. For future reference to anyone who wants to install a nice sub system in their car...invest in a Capacitor and make sure your alternator can handle the amp draw. It'll save your alternator and you a lot of hassle, lol.
