Hi,

Have you checked fuses and the starter relay? If you look at pic 1, I highlighted the fuse and relay. Both are located in the under hood fuse/relay box.

Check the fuse first. Confirm there is power to it and from it. If it is good, switch the relay with a different one having the same part number.

Here are two links you may find helpful:

If the relay and fuse are both good, we need to check for power at the starter motor. Here is a link that explains how to perform the test:

Pics 2-5 show the power distribution schematics for the vehicle. I'm adding them in the event you need them. I did cut them in half to make them more readable. However, I did overlap them so you could follow them easier.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care and God Bless.

Joe
