You can bang on your starter and see if that will help. If it does replace your starter.

You can bang on your starter and see if that will help. If it does replace your starter. You can take your starter of your vehicle and add power to it, if it turns it may not be the starter. If you have a 12v battery charger then put the positive to positive and negative to negative and if it turns the starter is more then likely fine.

Main relay is always the first suspect...even if you think the fuel pump is being actuated by this relay, it has additional functions which can prevent stater activation. If you want to cut to the chase...take a wire (fused preferred) directly from the + battery terminal and touch the stater turn on terminal (tiny lead) with the key in the on position. If it cranks...it is not the starter. Could be the ignition switch not sending a signal to the starter...or all the way back to the main relay principle.

Pull the starter off and take it to AutoZone they can test it to see if it's any good
