Vehicle will not start. lights and power come on, but car does not start - no clicking sounds or anything-just won't start
I have the same problem, its a brake relay issue. i found the following as a temp fix: keep foot off brake, press start once for yellow light. press and hold start button for appox 15 seconds. Vehicle should start. This is an override and is not recommended but will at least get the car started to get you home or for you to get vehicle to dealer.
OPEN BONNET AND MAKE SURE THE BATTERY TERMINALS ARE CLEAN AND TIGHT, SWITCH ON THE HEADLIGHTS AND TRY TO START THE ENGINE , IF THE HEADLIGHTS GO VERY DIM WHEN YOURE TRYING TO START , THE BATTERY IS PROBABLY FLAT , TRY JUMP START.

Sounds like a connection problem/error. When you replaced the starter solenoid, do you remember how many wires you disconnected and reconnected?
Was there any indication ( sparks, etc) of accidentally causing a short when you replaced the solenoid?
Your initial problem of no start but hearing the click sound is almost a sure fire indication that the starter is NG. If the solenoid clicks, that means that it is applying 12 volts to the starter.
hope this helps Good luck Loringh

this is always the starter solenoid that does this, replace the starter solenoid.

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome. A relay wouldn't cause your lights to go out, but it could cause your vehicle to not start. First, check all your fuses. Make sure none are blown. Next, check the battery. Make sure it is good. Don't guess at it. A bad battery can cause all of this. Check your connections, battery terminals, wires, and post. Look for damage and clean the post and battery ends with a wire brush. A bad connection will cause the same issues. Whenever you hear a clicking noise, it is usually traced back to the battery. If it was doing nothing, it would point to the starter or ignition, Since it clicks, I believe it is a bad battery, connection, or your alternator. You need to test the battery and alternator. Try to have someone jump your vehicle over and see if it starts. If it won't, the battery may be shot or it is the connection or alternator. It should be one of the three.

Sorry, this sounds like a bad battery, pull the battery and take it to your local auto parts store. They will check your car battery for free.
