When i go to start my hummer the key will not tuen over but everything else powers on it, it only does this sometimes
The most common cause of a non-starting car is the battery. It is either weak, (low voltage) dead, (zero voltage) or has bad connections. (corroded or loose) I will assume you have a fully charged battery with good connections. (both to battery and starter relay)
If you remove the starter switch lead (small wire) from the starter relay and apply +12v from the battery to its respective prong or lead on the relay, and your starter cranks, your starter switch is faulty. (not to be confused with your key switch). If you jump the two large wires together on the relay and it cranks, then the relay is faulty. If you jump the two large wires together and nothing happens, then starter is faulty, or wires to starter are loose or broken. Picture of starter switch prong on the relay is pictured. NOTE: sparks are to be expected, so don't be too scared. Pictured is a starter relay that is seperate of the starter, on models with starter and relay mounted together, its very similar.

It's possible then that you have a dead spot in the solenoid at the starter. have your starter check out or try replacing it. From what you described in your complaint, it sounds like a bad starter. Hope this helps you out.

Manual transmission you need to step on the clutch. Auto you need to step on the brakes.
