I replaced the starter and alternator and it would start so I replaced the battery and it still wont start. Like it makes not around when I turn the key no crank or anything, but the lights come on so I have power.

There are a number of things that can cause this but we need to start with checking for codes just to be sure we don't have any that will explain this.

If not then we need to check voltage at the starter just to make sure it is not there so we can track it back through the system to find where it is.

Here are a couple guides that will help with this issue of a starter not working:

Below you will find the wiring diagram that we need in order to figure this out. This could be a relay issue or even a BCM issue. So let's start with checking voltage on the purple wire while cranking the engine and if you don't have any then we need to check the relay.

Please run through this info and let us know what you find. Thanks
