My vehicle listed above won't start and makes no clicking noise, but also my lights and radio still work. What could be causing this and how do I fix it?

Hi,

This can be a few things. A bad starter can cause it as well as a starter relay, wiring, or even a fuse.

First, see if the vehicle starts in neutral.

What I need you to do next is check a main fuse that are in the under hood fuse box. I attached a pic below of the wiring and circled the fuses. Pic 2 shows fuse location and pic 3 shows the fuse box location under the hood.

In addition to just checking the fuse, I need you to confirm there is power at that fuse. Here is a link you may find helpful:

Lets start with that and if you find everything is okay, we'll move on.

Take care,

Joe
