Check the wires at the starter, and inspect the wires at the starter solenoid for any damage or missing wire insulation allowing the wires to make contact with each other or ground, and check the wire to the "S" terminal on the starter solenoid to be sure that it is not touching the main battery cable at the "Bat" or main terminal on the starter solenoid.

If there is no problem with the wires to the starter solenoid, especially the wire to the "S" terminal on the starter solenoid, and there is no after-market alarm installed with a starter enable, then the problem will be with the ignition switch.

The key doesnt click, or turn over to start the engine, but the battery and starter are fine. why

Starter relay under the hood may be bad. Ignition switch may be bad. Test them both. The immobilizer circuit may be stopping the starter too.

2003 lexus es300 won't start... radio lights and windows work. Tried a jump start, still doesnt work...

Are you saying the engine cranks but won't start, or the engine won't crank ?
If the engine does not crank, you would check for voltage at the starter, the neutral safety switch, and the key switch as well as the ground connections.

It sounds like you have a bad actuator. This is attached to the starter and has a solonoid that pushes the starter motor gears into the engine gear. If the solonoid is faulty this may happen. Also check alignment of the same.

does the car crank or not?? if it cranks and doesnt start it could be a couple things. could be fuel pump is bad or could be an ignition problem and ur not gettin spark in ur sparkplugs. if nothing happens when u turn ur key its more than likely that ur starter is bad. if this doesnt help im sorry but this is the only thing i can think of.

Mercury sable 2004

Depends on the sound that it makes when you turn the key over.

Clicking noise...usually the starter

If it sounds like its going to start, but doesnt, most likely the battery.

If you have replaced the battery recently, then its the alternator.

Sometimes there can be oil build up over the spark plugs so it doesnt get the spark to start.

Hope you get it fixed!!
