I put the key ijn the ignition and try to turn it over. The battery is fine (only 5 months old). When I turn the key, the lights come on but there is no power from what I believe is the key to starter. All the fuses are good under the hood and to the left of the steering column. There is no clicking sound or anything when I turn the key. Any advice or info would be much appreciated. Feel free to ask any follow up questions. I may or may not be able to answer since I'm not a huge car guy.

Hello, Ia m Danny.

It sounds like your starter motor/solenoid is not working.They are subject to normal wear and tear and do require replacement after time. I am attaching a tutorial showing what is involved for replacement. Hope this helps and feel free to ask any questions if needed. Thanks for using 2CarPros.
