Try having someone shoving a long screwdriver and tap it with a hammer onto the starter first. If it starts, voila, it’s your starter. If not, you’re not doing it properly or it isn’t your starter. ---

It’s probably the alternator… the best way to find out is to start the car… and while the car is running, remove the battery cables from the battery terminals… if it dies, it’s your alternator. If it runs, maybe it could be a very weak battery. I highly doubt it’s the fuel pump. ---

Jesus, SON is full of so much garbage. If his car didnt even make a “click” when starting, its not getting power. You need a new alternator man. Test it how FOB said. ---
