My engine will not turn over. Alternator and starter are 6 months old, fuel pump is working well and battery is fully carged. Will not start with jump. It was working fine earlier in the day. Is there a fuse or possibly a loose cable?

Do you hear the solenoid click? If not, find it near the battery, unplug the red / blue wire, and momentarily connect a jumper wire between that terminal and the battery positive post to see if the starter cranks the engine.
