Went to start the car this morning and wouldnt turn over. Tried on a couple of occasions and was not even near to starting. All lights, radio, heater, etc working okay and not had any problems ever before with the car starting

    Hi,
    Can you tell me if the starter motor is turning the engine over?
    Or is there nothing happening at all?

    Let me know.

    Thanks

    Jason

Try jump starting, see if it starts then. Lights, radio, etc.. don't draw nearly the amps that your starter does. Batteries don't always give warning when then decide to "go south". If you can get it started by jump starting, stop by a local Autozone, Advance, etc.. auto parts store and have them do a charging system test and to load test your battery. They offer this service for FREE
Another Note: When was timing belt last replaced? If it's a 325 of that year it should be done every 60k (If it's 318 ignore the above belt issue)

Car clicks but wont start, lights come on

It sounds like maybe the starter solenoid is defective, they are prone to this type of problem and your description exactly fits. In order to repair this you must remove the starter from the car and either replace it or repair it with a new solenoid.

2003 Trailblazer- no power after key stuck in ignition

Sounds like an antitheft problem I would start with the antitheft system. Usually when you only have one key all keys have to be programmed together even the original. When you have more than one it is easy to program additional keys.
