All electronics seem to be working fine, batteries got power. It won't turn over, doesn't click. It doesn't do nothing when I try to start it.

Hello,

Have you tried to jump start it to see what happens?

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-jump-start-car-battery-using-jumper-cables

If you try to jump it and it still does not make any noise while turning the key, it could be due to a faulty ignition switch.
The ignition switch is the electrical component that the lock cylinder attaches to.

Over time the switch will get worn and can lose connection or have burnt pin. Which can lead to no start.

I have attached the ignition switch replacement procedure below for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
