2001 went to start not a sound complete quiet battery good starter good. thinking ignition problem

Has the battery been tested? The starter tested? Are the terminals on the battery clean no corrosion?

yes tested both turn key get nothing lighta come on

Starter relay or bad battery cables having too much resistance to crank the engine. If relay is good replace both battery cables that run to battery.

turn the key to the on position, open drivers door, wait 10 minutes, close door, turn key to off position, car should start.

Really? The car is just going to start with the door left open for ten minutes and the key off. Ppl are having issues that cost them money and I can't believe I'm reading that post. I worked in a diesel shop for 7 yrs. Never heard such bull. SMH!!!!

Just replaced the starter on my wife's 2001 Tauus. It only has 103k on it. Alternator was replaced 3 years ago, battery about 2 1/2 years ago, and the starter about 6-7 years ago. If she tried to start it real soon after driving, it wouldn't start. After sitting for an hour or so, it would fire right up. Sounded like a charging problem, so I pulled the alternator and had it tested. Test said it was fine. Next, tried to charge the battery because I wasn't even getting a click when turning the key. Nothing. Zip. Nada. Checked and cleaned all connections. Zero. Replaced the starter relay. Again, nothing. Pulled the starter, replaced it, fired right up. Never - ever - had one where the solonoild didn't click. Just weird. The starter wasn't cheap, either.
