Didn't mean to make 3 threads, sorry. Anyways it wont even choke, It has no sound of the engine attempting to start. It could be the spark plugs, how can I check?

Try boostin it... just cuz music and a.c is running doesnt mean ****.... your battery could be bad... still pushing power... just not enough to crank the engine exact same thing happend to me... cuz i left something in the ciggarette lighter for a week.... unfortunatly our cars do not shut the lighter after its shut off! My guess its your battery... tell us how it goes..

when you turn your key, does your security warning light up and nothing else in the gauge cluster? my ss/sc is currently in the shop for the 4th time due to this problem and they have no clue how to fix it. however, if you are getting your security light when you go to start, all you have to do is go into the fuse box on the right side of the center column and pull the fuse for the passkey ignition switch (basically disable the ignition chip reader) and you'll be able to start the car, won't solve the problem, but will allow you to start....GM can't figure out how to fix the problem yet, they've replaced half my electrical system and it's still f***ed up

EDIT: Also, be sure to double check the battery - my stock one was blown out on 3 out of 4 corners (replaced it obviously) - screw AC Delco...

I had similar problems with my car when I first got it. What happen with mine is that it had a bad battery but like you said the music worked and the lights turned on. When I turned the car over it just made a ticking noise cause the battery didn't have enough juice to turn over the starter. Try boosting it or jumping it and get it to a dealership and first off have them run a load test on your battery. After that just have them check things out.
