If you canreach teh astarter without getting in the way of the fan, exhaust, or anything ele dangerous, try jumping the terminals together.
There is the big terinal, which is the cable from the battery. There should also be a smaller wire, which comes from the ignition switch and activates the starter.
Use a screwdriver, heavy wire, pliers, etc. to bridge the cable and wire terminals together. You should hear the starter click and start turning the engine over. There isn't enough voltage there to hurt you, although you may get a tingle if you're standing barefoot in water. :-)
If nothing happens, the battery cable may be loose at either end (battery or starter). Try gripping the cable and giving it a twist clockwise, which will tighten it a little and may cure your problem.
If the starter works, the small wire is the culprit. Check theterinal and make sure it's tight and the ere isn't any rust or corrosion inteh connection.
I'm sorry you're not here, Icould sort this out for you in a few minutes.
Good Luck!
