Exclamation car doesnt crank stuck on the road help asap

Left my car in a parking lot over night now it doesn't crank.
I checked the #1 fuse under the dash which seems to be fine.
I tried jumping the car, nothing.
My escort 8500 reads 11.7volts. All the electronic devices in car works.
Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Under hood fuse box on driver side.

Could of maybe left and interior light on?

Check you starter? Is there any whine when trying to crank? Or just silence?

Try jumping it with another car. If it starts and stays running, it is your battery, if it dies after starting then probably the alternator. If it doesn't start at all, then you have other issues (starter possibly).

I would say it is the starter then most likely. Bad starters can range from doing nothing like you are saying to just making a whining sound. You could try roll starting it like suggested above. Other than that, just order a new starter and go from there.

Yes. Radio. headlights. Horn. It works as it should. No signs of weakness.

Is there a fuse or any other potential issues I should check before I start attacking the starter?
