Will not start, when you turn key to start there is a relay that clicks. all the bells and whistles work.. can i check for fuse? if yes where do I look for fuse box?
It takes a lot less power to run all the goodies than it does to start your car up.Do you have a battery charger? or can you borrow one to charge the battery up overnight. You might even try a boost.Check the connections at the battery and clean them if they are dirty.This doesn't sound like a fuse to me.Try the simple stuff first and then go from there.Let me know how you make out.good luck
Testimonial: "I have done all this and still get nothing."
If the battery is good, I think you have to look at the starter solenoid which if memory serves me is on the stater.Check the ground connection to the motor as well.Can you borrow another battery to try? Sometimes a battery will read a good charge on a meter but when you put it under load it folds.

Hi Meadors,
The clicking sound you heard most likely the starter solenoid engaging the starter. Only in this case it's failing to engage the starter. This is a classic symptom of a low battery. Here's why.
In a perfect world, when you turn the key to start:
In our world, when you turn the key to start:
While a dead battery is the prime suspect, there can be other causes. Things to do:
Even new batteries can be bad off
the shelf. Especially if they have been on that shelf for a while. They
may show the voltage but not the amps. This is called a 'Surface
Charge'.
If you don't have a voltmeter, what you need to do now is visit
an auto parts store (not a shop). Most (in the hope of making a sale)
will provide free testing of batteries and charging systems.
What you need is called a "Load Test" on the battery.
It simulates the load of an engine being started. This will confirm the
battery is good or bad.
Then with the car running, they need to
check the voltage to the battery (they will know this). If it's not
above +13VDC, the alternator is bad or not connected correctly.
And if it doesn't start, what better place to be?
Let me know what they and you find out by commenting.
Best regards
Mike
