Car was running fine, drove for an hour to go home (and other small trips in between and after, no problems starting car or any hints of issues). Then parked at home, and next day won't start.

When trying to start the car, everything lights up, no check engine lights. Turn the key to run, and nothing happens. Nothing turning over, nothing really happens.

We've checked the battery, starter and all checked out good. Replaced the ignition switch, and didn't change anything either. When checking the battery, we replaced the terminals and several connections which were corroded, but didn't manage to change anything.

Hello,

This could be a problem with a fuse(s) in the Under hood Fuse/Relay Box located on the right rear of your vehicle's engine compartment, behind the strut tower mount. I have include in the diagrams down below a wiring diagram of your vehicle's starting circuit, as well as a diagram with the location, layout, and callout of the Under hood Fuse/Relay Box. Check fuses #15, #18, and #38. Here is a link if you are unfamiliar with how to do that.

Please go through these guides and information and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
, Alex

Fuses were all good, it ended up being bad wiring under the steering wheel causing the ignition issues.
