Hi,

Does the starter engage and it not start or does nothing happen? Does anything electrical work?

Take a look at the pic below. I need to know if you checked the fuses I highlighted as well as if you checked the starter relay.

Pic 2 shows the fuse location. The fuse / relay box is in the rear driver's side of the engine compartment. In addition to checking the fuse, make sure there is power both in and out from it.

Here is a link you may find helpful:

Let me know what you find.
