This is the story of my "Life...."
Washed my Alero 3 days ago...Everything was running great no probelms what so ever besides my windows not rolling down.(Resinators)
Ok so after I wash my car (I live in Florida so its like 45-50 outside no ice) I go inside and chill for a bit go outside to leave try to start it and the damn thing dosen't start...Won't even turn over, (No its not my battery) so my dad tells me a could of got something wet well its been 3 days and the damn thing still hasn't started so I'm starting to think its a Fuel Pump... Any other ideas?

make sure the bolt is very tight on your battery (Positive side) it might not have a good connection?

if it wont turn over, that wont be your fuel pump, either youre not getting power(battery is completely shot, wires are loose, etc), the starter is bad, or your security light is flashing(high probability its the last one).
yeah check your battery terminals first i ran into that problem a few times. also if you cycle the key on you should here your fuel pump cycling on. but most likely its the terminals that are loose or the security light is on

Like this morning before school I tried to crank it up and like it turned over than shut off.. So it acts like its not getting fuel.. I'll check the terminals but like I can turn my key and not start it and turn my radio on and listen to it and eveyrthing..so all my friends are saying its my fuel pump..but not sure I've got some of my boys coming over today after school to check it out and see what we can screw up x_x

oh, you said it wouldnt turn over in your first post...could be a lot of things then...
make sure your radio is off and there is no sound around you. have one of your friends stick there head under the car next to the fuel tank so they can listen if the fuel pump turns on.turn your key to the on position when you do this the pump should come on and make a whirring sound if no sound is heard fuel pump is bad or the relay is bad most likely its the pump
