My car is not starting. When I turn key to start, nothing happens. Good battery, good fuses. No noise at all.

All electronics and lights come on and do not dim when trying ignition. Pulled all fuses (interior and engine) and all checked good. Removed battery and had it checked, good at 65%. Had it charged and rechecked, good at100%.

Is it the ignition switch, alternator, or just a loose connection somewhere?

I have a short video (0:34) of the problem, but exceeds file size limit.

Hello,

Yes, we are getting a video upload soon but we do not have one right now. You would need to upload it to youTube and give us the link. But it sounds like the starter has gone bad. Here is a guide to show you how to test it to confirm the problem:
