Went to start the car this morning and it didn’t even crank. The wipers, and all the dashboard lights come on and radio works but car won’t turn over. Batteries good, coolants good, oil is good.

Good evening,

Can you test the battery voltage to be sure there is sufficient voltage?

I posted a wiring diagram of the starting system. Do you have a test light or voltmeter to do some testing?

Okay, so there is probably no power getting to the starter motor. Can you put the car in neutral and try to start it? Power for the starter runs though transmission range switch, which comes from the starter relay. Here is a diagram of the starting circuit highlighted in yellow. There is a 30amp fuse to check as well at the beginning of the circuit.
