When you turn the ignition switch the starter does nothing. All the guages, lights and radio work, just nothing from the starter. I checked the battery connections and that's not a problem.

When you say it has trouble what kind? Clicking? or nothing at all? If you hear a click, then either the battery is weak, or the starter, possibly bad battery cable connections, check and clean both ends of BOTH cables! Dissconnect negative(-) first, and put it on last! If no click the starter relay is no good!
