car won't start?

Question

there is no clicking noise when trying to start it, but there is power.

Answer 1

Either the battery is down so low that it will not excite the solenoid (The clicking sound you expect to hear), you have a loose, bad or non-existent connection to the starter and solenoid or your starter and solenoid are completely gone.

Answer 2

Several times a day, someone asks a very similar question to your's.

It's very helpfull to include a little more information in your question to help us, help you, in your times of trouble.

Some of the simple things to include in your question is:

1) Year of car.
2) Make of the car.
3) Model of your car.
Those three things can help us narrow down known issues with particular vehicles that have certain problems that occur on a regular basis. (ie. recalls and such)

Next, If you could give a more detailed explanation of what is happening when you turn the key to start your car.
1) Nothing happens?
2) You hear a "click", but nothing else?
3) You hear the starter turning, but the engine doesn't turn?
4) The starter turns the engine, but the engine won't start up?
5) The engine turns over, but very slowly.
6) the engine turns, but there's an awful banging noise?

Lastly:
What happened last time you drove it?

1) Drove home fine last night, just won't start today?
2) Was driving fine, and it just died on you?
3) You haven't driven it in a while. It's been parked in storage?

I like to say: "The better the question, the better the answer"

Answer 3

Wires and cable secured, clean and dry. If there is power to the solenoid but nothing it's bad. Ground from starter to block good?

Neutral Safety Switch, move the shifter while trying to start.

Answer 4

Answer 6
