I was driving my dodge caravan that is a 1994 and I turned it off and it wouldnt start at all... When i pushed it and poped the clutch it started, but when I got it home it didnt do any thing no noise at all... I tried to jump it and it wouldnt do anything either... no noise or anything...my battery is only a lil over a year old....

Try cleaning your battery cables, both ends.
I have cleaned them and also the posts... still nothing... lights and raido all work...just nothing no noise when I try and start it...no clicking nothing... coukld it be the starter relay? coil?

Did you clean both ends of the cable?
Not the coil.
Turn your headlights on then try to start it. Do the headlights dim?
No they dont dim at all.... i am so confused... :o(

Did you clean both ends of the cables?? Check for loose connections at the starter?
Seems you need some testing equipment,. at the least a test light or voltmeter.
- Starter solenoid gone south
- Key switch is bad
based on everything else you've tried, I'd bet on one of those two being the culprit.
Heck, I'll vote "bad ignition switch"...
+Went to Florida the other day for a week. Terrible, weather in the
80's most days, sunny. Not one bit of snow, never used 4WD on the Dodge one time.
It's nice here most of the time.
But the surf has been rough for the past week.
Bad starter solenoid.
We hit the beach one day... I wanted to stay all day! Surf was a tiny bit rough in the AM (Gulf side) but by noon it was quiet.
I'm on the east coast, just north of Daytona. Ocean get's real stired up at times. Been about 5-10' surf for about a week.
Real men don't drive minivans.

Well then, what do they do with them....?
Run... Run away fast!
