You turn the key and nothing happens—maybe a click, maybe silence. Before you panic, check the battery: are the headlights dim? Corroded or loose battery terminals are a common culprit. Next, listen for the fuel pump when you turn the key to 'on'—if it's silent, you might be out of gas or have a bad pump. A dead key fob battery can also block the start signal in modern cars. Start simple and work your way up.
