When i turn the key i hear a click and nothing. THe battery is fine. i'm going to check the fuses today. I thought that the clucth starter switch went bad so i bypassed it. I tried pulling it but the snow covered roads prevented the wheels from spining. So i think that its the starter because i have no idea what else could be wrong.

Thanks guys for the help. I got the starter off last night and I'm taking it in to have it checked.

I checked the starter and its good. I checked the wires and they are sending the right amount of volts to the starter. The fuses are all good. But the car won't turn over. All i hear when i turn the key is the fuel pump running. I manually checked the starter and took it to the shop but I think that the starter might not be able to handle the voltage when started. I don't know what's wrong. Help please.

i took mine to the shop and it showed to be fine, but it wasnt though. i dont remember exactly why it was doing that but oh well. take it to a starter shop and have them rebuild it.

some times starters go bad and when you have them checked they spin on there own but when they have a load applied they dont work. Tell the auto parts place that it wont turn it over to have them put a screw driver in the teeth and wacdth it not move. Now if it does move duck cause the screwdriver will go flying so you will look like an ***!!! lol j/k they just go bad sometimes.
