I have a 1997 vw jetta gls. It swtarted just fine 2 days ago, when I got in to come home from work it wouldnt start. Not even with a jump. Its not the battery and we just replaced the starter. The starter is getting good voltage but it wont do anything. Not even click. What could be wrong?

Could be the starter, starter relay, transmission position switch and ignition switch assuming the battery condition and connections are good.

The starter is good. The battery is good. Where is the starter relay located?
