Constant threat
More information, please. Does the engine turn over but not start, or does nothing happen when the ignition key is turned? Have you checked the main 100A fuse and all other main engine bay fuses?
Let us know....

Check coolant level and see if it is low. Pull plugs and check plugs, might be wet. Perform cooling system pressure test and look for coolant coming out of plug holes. If none are present then perform compression check if possible. If coolant is present then you have a bad o-ring...release pressure, crank engine to clear coolant and add motor oil to prevent rust.
Of course all above should follow simple test of fuel and ignition systems first.
