Everything works when I turn the key but the engine won't start. Checked the wires and battery and everything is connected what should I do?

Welcome to 2CarPros.

Does the starter engage when you turn the key to the start position? If it doesn't, we need to determine if there is power to it or if the starter itself has failed.

Here is a link that shows how to check a starter. Perform these test and let me know the results.

If the starter does engage but the engine fails to start, follow this link:

Let me know if the start is or isn't working and the results of these tests. If you have other questions or need help, let me know.
