Car won't start. My guess is either ignition or perhaps starter. Battery has plenty of juice and fuses on fuse panel all look good.

    Won't crank at all. I briefly heard a clicking noise like when your battery is extremely low on power and the car won't turn over.

Does the engine crank ( turn over ) at all? if you only hear a click or no sound at all then you should check the starter.
if the engine cranks then you should check for fuel and spark to pin point the cause

    it's sound like a starter to me

    get a test light connect to the negative battery terminal

    check the starter's terminals, there's a small wire on the starter.

    have some one try to start and you touch the test light to that wire

    if you have power to that wire then replace your starter. good luck

Fuse box diagram

Even though it sounds simple, there could be several things wrong here.
A person with a good electric meter can trace the source of the problem.
Perhaps the easiest is to go to the starter under the car, and unhook the wire that comes from the ignition switch, then test that wire with a meter and see if "juice" is coming that far when the ignition key is turned.
If not, you may need an ignition switch. ( Not a key switch, that is another item.)
If juice is present with the key turned to "start", you may have a bad solenoid.
There is also a way to by-pass the solenoid and see if the starter works without it, but that takes a really smart mechanic!
God bless your efforts.

2001 jaguar s-type won't crank battery new and charged. Turn the ignition car won't make a sound

many things will cause no start problems could have faulty ignition switch.use test light see if power going to starter if not check ignition fuse to starter.if power going to starter, more likely starter solenoid or starter faulty.if ignition fuse okay and starter and solenoid okay still no start problem could be in the ignition switch or inhibitor switch faulty.code scan for faulty theft security system which will also cause no start conditions.

2007 chevy cobalt ls won't start battery good starter good turn key nothing no click nothing all lites work on dash and radio works jumped starter with screwdriver turns. Over but won't start...

Ignition relay or fuse could be the problem. When you turn the key to start do you hear a fuel pump kicking on and or do you have spark when you hot wire the starter (I know it's hard to check while trying to start it)? You can email me back and I might be able to pinpoint it more.

2004 A 8L won"t start

starter wont click because there's not enough "juice" to turn it over. this isnt because of the battery as you have just replaced it. it is due to a bad alternator recharging the battery as you drive. if it were only a fuse it would be the solenoid in the starter. but if it had started after you installed the battery then its not the solenoid. solution: buy a refurbished alternator and

I have a 1986 prelude that won't start.

DOES THE CAR SOUND LIKE IT WANTS TO TURN OVER AT ALL?

Why are you having to jump it? Bad battery...too weak....weak battery not supplying enough juice to the starter to turn the motor over....

2004 KIA RIO-ENGINE WILL NOT CRANK

I would guess starter fuse first, then starter. When you turn key, if you don't hear a click, you should focus your attention on the fuse first and then the starter. If you hear a click, then most likely (80%) its the starter solenoid. try to start the car in neutral to rule out the neutral safety switch...good luck
