You can turn the key and all it does is click. The Battery is good, we have already checked it. All the lights on the dash come on and it acts like the solenoid is bad.

Check first the condition of the cables at BOTH ends! If the battery is new, and all you get is a clicking, either the starter is bad, or not getting enough power!

We did some checking and found out that the starter/Solenoid (however you spell it) was bad. Thank goodness it wasn't the starter. That thing was gonna cost us almost 2hundred bucks.
