Car will not turn over

BEFORE YOU SAY STARTER, read.

Started the car and drove to the store, started fine no issues, no slow cranks/burbs/or any other issues. turned the car off for about 5 mins. Came back tried to start the car, Nothing.

Everything cuts on, radio plays, HVAC, things in teh sig lighter, the emanage and e-01 power up just fine but when you turn the key nothing. Before you scream starter, we know for a fact that when you try and crank the car, HVAC, radio, and things connected to the cig lighter are suppose to cut off, no matter if ur starter is working or not, correct? Well mine stay on.

Any ideas on what this is, im hoping its an easy fix like fuse or relay.

if you turn the key and no starter noise of any type from tack tack which indicates bad battery. Then it might be your ignition switch.

Check your starter ground as well, at least it is a cheap fix.

Another vote for the ignition switch or maybe the park safety switch (also called a neutral safety switch). . . . Mine done the same not too long ago it ended up being the PSS vs the ignition switch. I was able to adjust my PSS/NSS (after replacing the ign switch).

You can test the PPS by trying to start the car while in neutral. You can test the ign-switch my moving the key around while in the switch while in the start position.

Good luck!!!
