Lately my car has have problems starting up, today it did not start up or turnover or even click, I put in a brand new battery since autozone said I had a bad battery. When I replaced it, it still did the same thing. Nothing. Do u think I have a bad starter or alternator? Thanks

Hello,

It sounds like you might have a faulty starter.
It could also be a bad starter relay.
First check the relay, it is located under the hood in the junction box (see diagram).
You can test the relay to see if it is good.

If the relay checks out, then test the starter.

I have attached the starter and wiring diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
