Would not crank over for me. All my lights work also. Looked at fuses and notice the starter relay fuse was sitting crocked. I push it back into place and tried again and still nothing so I am wondering if it is the fuse is bad or the solenoid?

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

I am not sure why the fuse was not straight, but it needs checked first. Here is a quick link showing how to check a fuse. Also, when you remove the fuse, confirm that the pins it plugs into are not pushed in, corroded, or damaged.

Here is a link for testing the starter/solenoid. The smaller wire on the starter solenoid should receive 12 volts power when the key is in the start position. Take a look through this link for details.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,
