2002 Mazda Miata intermittent start issue. When I turn the key there is an audible click from the engine bay - but nothing else.

Generally the click is the starter solenoid engaging the fly wheel. The starter needs way more power than anything else in the car. It doesn't matter that the lights work. If the battery can't supply 10.5 volts under load, the starter won't turn. See if you can jump start the car and get to an auto parts store to have the battery checked.

Lights, radio and powerdoor locks work, turn key to start car nothing happens

If you had said the radio did not work, I would say it was the key switch or a large fuse or fuseable link.
But the radio is powered thru the key switch.
The problem could still be the key switch or a major fuse, I would check all of the fuses then power at the key switch.
Also check the ground connections.

My 2004 pontiac grand prix gt wont start when i went to turn it on this morning to go to work nothing happened it just made a clicking noice. The guy at pep boys said that the battery was good. when i try...

if you turn headlights on and turn key to start do you hear clicking? if so starter is possibly bad,lets trouble shoot your problem.suggest you check the fuses under hood in black box,make sure those are good. when you turn the key, you should hear at least a click or else the starter is not drawing current.try turning the headlights on and at same time turn the key and try to start, if lights go dim the starter is drawing current, does it click? if so then bad starter. if no noise at all,,still could be a bad starter.suggest that you remove the starter and have it checked out.also make sure the car is in park for sure before you do any of this. hope this helps!!

93 GMC Suburban Wont Turn Over

I may not be all the way in park or the safety neutral switch in not working. Did you try and start it in Neutral? Also move your shifter around while the key is engauged and see if it will start.
