Thread: Car doesnt make a sound...

So i park last night, nothing out of the norm. This morning i jump in turn the key and the engine doesn't make a sound. The radio comes on and everything so it isn't a battery problem (i wouldn't imagine anyway). No cranking noise, nothing.

Please help, I need this running basically now

can you hear the starter relay clicking? Did you test the battery to confirm iirs it needs at least 12.6v

The power lines split directly off the battery. One side powers accessories, electronics, etc; and the other side goes straight to the starter. If something has come loose on that side, everything will work except the starter. It's happened to me before, so one more thing to check out.

also the nut sometimes on the starter bolt on the starter itself comes a little loose.

it may also be a ground issue, usually one of the points from the battery ground.

If no click at all, check the grommet on the clutch pedal to see if its still there. It may not be clicking the clutch inhibit relay.

This is really what I thought it was at first, I didn't have the clutch all the way in but i did. So this something I'm def. going to check when i get out of class.

Where is this grommet?

Check and clean your battery terminals. That's what it is everytime that happens to me.

Look under the dash, its on the top of the clutch pedal. There's a hole where this grommet, well, more like a peg sits in there, and it just pushes the clutch inhibit switch.

If its missing, you can just put a small nut and bolt in there, or just by pass it all together. Unplug the inhibit switch, and either put a small jumper wire between the two pins, or cut the plug and connect the two wires.

Nope, it is still there... the battery terminals look just fine barely dirty at all. My Dad says he thinks the starter might be out, seems like if it was a bad one it would still make some noise. There is no solenoid clicking or anything, just like i wasn't turning the key at all.
