My car wants to start but won't. I don't hear the fuel pump noise when I turn on key before it starts. The relay fuel fuse don't clicks when key on.

Hello, I'm Danny.

The first thing I suggest to do is have the fuel pump relay tested. If the relay is defective/not working it will not activate the fuel pump. Here is a tutorial on how to test a relay:

I've attached pictures below of the relays location. It's in the power distribution center under the hood on the left front. I've circled the relays location in the power distribution box in red as well. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
