Probably a starter. It sounds like the starter solenoid is working, but the starter motor is not energizing.
You could try this simple trick, but Im about 85% sure you have a bad starter.
Have a buddy help you push the vehicle in neutral for a short distance. When you get it moving at a walking pace, put the transmission in Drive, and let the vehicle come to a stop. You may hear a little clicking, but thats OK, it wont hurt anything. Put the transmission back in Park and try to start the engine again. Sometimes the starter gear gets stuck on the flywheel and it wont engage when you try to start the engine. This trick may move the flywheel a little so the starter can engage.
Well if u have all of your dash lights and your batter gauges is reading good it could be a multitude of things bad ground, loose cable or more then likeley starter and or sylanoid

Check the positive battery cable. Follow it from the battery to where it connects to the starter. More than likely there is a bad connection or internally broken cable

Hi! It can be caused by a weak battery. Please recharge the battery and see if the engine will kick when cranked. Please write back on the progress. Hope this helps and have a good one!
