I have lights and such but turning the key will not turn over the engine. Do not hear any noises, like starting or clicking or anything. Battery is new and fully charged. It has been intermittent problem, occurring about once every three weeks. Current status is it will not start. This seems like a very similar problem to the prior person asking this same question today.

The fact that this is intermittent points to a switch issue.

So, let's get started with this guide that will help with this issue.

The fact that your starter makes no noise tells me the trigger wire is not sending any power.

So, the likely issue is the range sensor.

Let's start by going to the white/pink wire and confirm this by checking the power and see if you have 12 volts when cranking the engine.

If you don't then I would jump the range sensor on the transmission and see if the starter turns over.

If it does then replace the range sensor.

Please see the info attached and let me know what you find with this, and we can go from there.

Thanks
