05' Won't Crank, everything else seems fine

Post by shaeet »

I moved my car last night back into my driveway and had no issues. Go out this morning and turn the key and nothing. Light's aren't dimming and its not trying to crank. I can faintly hear the fuel pump pressurizing the system when I turn the key to "Start". Everything else in the car works, accessories, lights etc.So, i'm guessing a fuse or the starter relay is bad. Where are these located at? I can't find a fuse panel other than the one under the hood and the main fuse looked fine (100amp blue one). Anything else I should check?
