Left home went 5 miles and turned vehicle off. Went to leave and the vehicle would not start at all. No cranking no anything like battery is dead, but that's not the problem. There is nothing clicking when I try it doesn't even attempt to turn over.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

First, if you are certain the battery is good, (headlight work, and other electrical components) we need to determine if the starter is getting power where it needs it. On the starter, there are two cables. One comes from the battery and is always hot, and the other is a much smaller wire and should only have 12v of power when the key is in the start position. We need to confirm that getting power. If it is, the starter is bad.

Here is a link that shows how to check the starter as I just described:

Also, try to see if it will start in neutral.

Let me know what you find.
