Been about a month since I could start my car so I go out and try it...nothing. No click. My battery is good though cause I have a switch for my fans...they work. Headlights...check. The person before me installed a push button to start the car. Didn't have time to start troubleshooting. Just wanted to get a opinion before I start digging around.

take the starter out and get it tested at an auto store = free. if its fine, then check the wiring on the push button installation...start there for now.

Check your battery connections, even if your headlights work, if your battery voltage is below 12 sometimes your car won't start, so charge it. Try hitting your solenoid with a nice big wrench then crank it, if it makes some noise but still doesn't start then its probably your starter, and yeah go have it tested
