I have a 2002 Neon, with 67,000 miles and recently it wont start. When you turn the key it does nothing. All the lights work so, I dont think its the battery. Any suggestions?

I tested the battery, starter, and the starter relay and all are good, but I still cant get any response from the car.

If it is automatic try moving the gear shift to neutal and crank it, if it starts the switch is bad and needs replacment, if it is stick shift try bypassing the clutch switch and try it, if it starts the swiych is bad and needs replacment, please let me know

Try taking a test light and test the small trigger wire to the starter, crank to see if it lights up. Please get back to me.
