Probably the starter itself, or the starter solenoid on the side of the starter. Usually only available as one unit anyway for most vehicles. Make sure the starter motor connections are all tight before replacing it, wiring and retaining bolts, hopefully that's all it is. The other possibility is that the flywheel ring-gear could be damaged and not allowing the starter pinion gear to engage, in which case that would need to be replaced also, which involves removing the gearbox, so hope thats not the problem!

Hope this helps,
Mark.

Where is starter relay located

If you had a starter relay or park neutral safety switch problem the engine would not spin . If when you turn the key to the start position an the engine spins but does not start an run , this is a cranks no start , but if you turn the key to the start position an the engine does not spin you have a no crank no start condition . All the parts you replaced an didn't fix the problem , you probably should take it to a qualified repair shop . It sounds like you know nothing of auto repair .

My key turns in ignition but doesn't seem to engage, no lights come on either

Sounds to me like you have a broken linkage from your ignition tumbler to your ignition switch. It is a plastic "arm" that pushs.pulls a metal tab on your ignition switch.

Try turning the key to the on position (do not start) for about 10 minutes or so! This should reset the security which is probably cutting off the fuel circuit! I know GM had many ignition problems with this!

Turns over,won't start

You first have to determine if its fire or fuel. To do this listen when you turn on the ignition switch, You should hear a buzzing sound from the fuel tank to indicate your fuel pump is working. If no sound check pump fuse and relay. If you hear the sound spray quick start into the intake manifold and try to start. If it starts or try's to start its a problem with fuel pressure or fuel filter. If you get nothing it's likely fire.

Check, clean and tighten your battery posts, and the power connection to the starter and ground. Make certain the battery is good and charged, Perhaps you have a bad starter motor, or the engine is frozen (will not turn over). I think the ignition switch is okay, because your lights dim when you try to start. This indicates power is getting to the starter (at least some).

Car wont start

If you are hearing loud clicking, this is usually the starter silinoid. This part makes a loud clicking sound if the battery cannot supply enough amperage to operate the starter to turn over the engine. The battery must supply at least 80 to 100 Amps on a normal day to start the engine.

The battery can only be tested for amperage output with a load tester. The battery may be defective from age and use, or from the alternator going defective and damaging the battery.
