Starting issues

[Mint1992vr4]

Got in my vr-4 yesterday to give it a start. I put the key in, gave it a turn, and not a thing happens. I thought it was the battery and had it charged and tested yesterday. The battery was fine, all of the dash lights come on and all other electrical items work. The engine doesn't even turnover. Any suggestions?

Kinda URGENT - car won't start

it sounds like this will really help but i dont even get a click from the starter. would it still be the same problem? im new with working with cars and i know even less about electrical.

the problem is related to your starting system, possible causes:

1. ignition switch - unlikely.
2. starter solenoid - possible.
3. starter engagement - possible but less likely, no noise.
4. wiring, basically power to starter - probable.
5. anti-theft if so equipped, clutch pedal position switch or other more esoteric cause - unlikely.

thankfully our starting system is fairly basic so the potential causes are limited.

i would recommend fixing the relay issue per the post above, it doesn't take too long and is fairly straightforward. that doesn't work, it's good preventative medicine and you've eliminated it as a potential cause.

the starter doesnt respond at all when i go to start the car. nothing clicks. possibly a bad starter?
