The engine does not crank?

Hi,

The click is likely the starter relay. Here is what I need you to do. First, see if it makes a difference if you try starting it in neutral.

If there is no change, please confirm the battery terminals are both clean and tight, the battery is fully charged, and the negative terminal wire that goes to the engine block is clean and tight.

Next, confirm fuse 12 in the under-hood fuse box is good and has power both to and from it.

Locate the starter relay and switch it with a different one having the same part number. See if that changes what is happening.

If that checks good. I need you to get a helper. At the starter motor, you will find a smaller light green wire with a black tracer. That is the trigger wire. It only has power when the key is in the start position. Have a helper turn the key to the start position while you check to see if power becomes available when that is done.

I attached a wiring schematic below for your reference. Also, I was able to locate a pic showing the starter relay location, but my manual doesn't provide a location for fuse 12. Both the relay and fuse are located in the power distribution box under the hood. See if the owner's manual or lid off the fuse box indicates it.

Let me know what you find,

Joe
