Everything was okay, and the next day, I went to the store. I turned the key, and nothing clicked, no nothing. Check the battery took the starter out to get checked, and that was good. Don't should I change the ignition switch or what? Please help.

Hi,

Before jumping into power issues, see if it starts if you place it in neutral. If it doesn't, then we need to start with the electrical.

Have you checked the starter fuse and relay? Both are located in the under-hood fuse box.

If you look at the attached pics 1 and 2, I attached the wiring schematic related to the starting system. Pic 3 shows the fuse and relay in the fuse box under the hood.

First, confirm the fuse is good. Additionally, make sure there is power to and from the fuse. Here is a link you may find helpful:

If that checks good, then I need you to check the relay. If there is another relay with the same part number, switch them. If there isn't, here is a link that explains how to test a relay.

Let me know what is found.

Take care,

Joe
