Key turn on, all the dash lights on but no motor response; motor not turning. Both ads and fuel pump are good.

Hi,

The first things we need to check are fuses. There are two. Fuse 23 and fuse 9 are in the under-hood fuse box.

When you check these, confirm them is power to them as well as the fuse is good. Here is a link you may find helpful:

If the fuses are good, locate the starter relay in the same fuse box. Switch it with a different relay in the box with the same part number to see if that changes things.

If there isn't a relay with the same part number, here is a link that explains how to test one.

If the relay and fuses are all good, then we need to check for power at the starter. You will need a helper. Have a helper turn the key to the start position while you check for power at the yellow wire with a gray tracer at the starter. You should get 12v when the key is in the start position. If you, have it, replace the starter. If not, let me know.

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

Take care,

Joe
