Please give more info, year, make model, engine, do you have VATS, ect..

Without any thing to go on I can give you a list of things that may cause your car to not crank.
  • dead battery
  • dead starter
  • dead starter solenoid
  • broken or burned wires
  • burned fusible link
  • bad starter enable relay
  • bad VATS module
  • bad VATS key
  • bad ECM
  • bad VATS anything hahaha
  • loose wires

Where do you start?
next time you try to crank it, check for trouble codes stored in ECM, if it is the VATS, it will tell you. If not That, start at the starter solenoid checking for voltage when key is turned.......
