No. You are having a starter problem. Start by checking the safety starter switch at the top of the clutch pedal.

RonJ you're probably right, I asked my dad and he said the same thing, I checked the clutch pedal but don't see anything out of the ordinary but to be honest I don't know what to look for, anyone have any pics?

Check for blown fuse or a bad dimmer switch.
