I'd say, if you get dashboard disco lights it might be the sway bar. Other option, if it lights up but the starter doesn't engage, try the hammer to the starter trick. I've seen muddy water cause the starter to jam and nit be able to engage the flywheel.

So tapping the starter didn't work... And unplugging the swaybar wire didn't work. But I unplugged the swaybar fuse and she started right up!
