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.

Did you clean both ends of the cable?
Not the coil.
Turn your headlights on then try to start it.
Do the headlights dim?

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.

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.

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.

times. Been about 5-10' surf for about a week.

1. Starter solenoid gone south
2. Key switch is bad
based on everything else you've tried, I'd bet on one of those two being
the culprit.
