I am hoping that someone can help me. My 2005 model has been pretty care-free, but yesterday out of the blue, it wouldn't start. I had driven it up to the house, turned it off. Then after 2 minutes when I came back, it would not start. The key caused the normal clicking sound (fuel solenoid?), but no starter noise or action. Lights were good. Battery voltage (still original battery) reads 12.6V.
I thought it might be the starter (solenoid), so I tried to use a screw driver at the starter to short it to start. I got sparks but nothing happened. I tried a second time and still nothing. Now the key action does nothing (no clicking, no lights -- nothing).
I tested the battery again and the volts are still there. Power shows up at the alternator and the cable to the starter. I pulled every fuse and they are all good.
I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?
