    Hi,
    You have two separate problems and the wise thing to do is find a friend with a truck, or pay for pick-up/delivery, if available. Warranties have a number of reasons for existing, not the least of which is your protection, but also to track and correct/improve products.
    Peace,

    I have to agree with Clarke on the warranty if you have one. If not, sounds like your starter rope assembly needs to be rewound, and possibly, the little things that activate to grab hold of your flywheel called dog-pawls may be stuck open preventing a start.

Saturn won't start, power locks won't work, radio resets itself. [ 4 Answers ]

My 99 Saturn has had some starting problems in the past. It would sometimes not start but if you let it sit from anywhere from 45 minutes to 24 hours, it would eventually start. Or, after having Dad look at it, we could tap the starter and it would work. So we thought it was the starter. I...

Kenmore he4 panel won't work and dryer won't start [ 1 Answers ]

I have had the circuit board/panel replaced once on my he4. I had only 2 weeks left on the warranty and figured it should be OK once it was fixed. They wanted another $200 to renew the warranty!
