Q: Car wont start or crank

If the starter is not functioning, the electrical fault could be in any component, or wiring segment, in the starter circuit. No one component is any more likely than another and thus the standard practice is to simply trace the circuit from the power source (the battery) to the load (the starter). Typically this is done in a systematic fashion using the factory wiring diagram. If you follow that procedure, there is a 100% guarantee you will pinpoint the interruption in the circuit, which interruption can, again, be due to faults in a variety of discrete components in that particular circuit.
