Default Car wont start need quick help!!!!!

Battery is fine, when i turn the key i dont even hear a starter click at all....the starter has been recently replaced. I tried to jump it and still nothing, not a click. What is the best way to diagnose this and is there anything else i should check before i pull the starter....


Thanks in advance.

If it's not the starter soleniod, then it could be the ignition switch or more likely a problem with your Vats ( vehicle anti theft system. Try another key. Try cleaning your key. Try locking and unlocking your door from the outside with the key and then try to start. You might want to just wait for 5 min before trying to start. Well thats about all I can think of for now. Anyone else?

If your security light is on, it's VATS(happened to me a few months ago) pull key out wait 10-15 minutes and try again.

Starter soleinoid stud had came unnatached and disconnected from the starter. Took out the starter, took it to orielly, got a replacement, and reinstalled the other one and had it up and running again in 3 hours time....... :party: Not to mention i had to eat dinner and do some work around the house during that time too......
