In video above he says the starter relay is clicking so he thinks it is good. That is most often true but not always. From the diagram the horn relay and starter relay may be the same if that is true you can swap them. If your horn works now and your car starts after switching them out you know it is the relay. He also said there is a fuse for starter.
The below link shows the horn and starter relay if it is a correct diagram.

Clicking when you try and start means either that there is not enough electricity getting through to the starter or the starter is defective,
If the battery is charged and you're getting nothing on the dash as well, that means that something in the connection from the battery to the rest of the car is not conducting the electricity. Check your battery terminals for corrosion and the battery wires for damage, Check your fuse panel for blown fuses. Ask the shop that replaced your starter,

It could possibly be a battery with no or very low amps. I would get it checked by a dealer or many auto parts stores have battery testers.

First thing you should do is ensure that the battery connections are tight on both ends if you can reach them the negative cable will go to a frame or engine ground and the positive cable should go to the starter maybe via a boosting post, if that doesn't work then remove the battery cables and clean the connections with a terminal brush. Corrosion on the terminals can cause poor performance of the starting system, make sure you do a good job and clean both the battery and the cars terminals or the symptom will still exist. From your description (no battery light after starting indicating a charging problem) if this doesn't solve your problem then you will need a new battery (Try charging the battery first it may work at first but if it happens again the battery is pooched or your locat parts store should be able to load test your battery to tell for sure if it is). Make sure that you have the codes to enter into your radio before you disconnect the battery as the honda's need this every time the battery is disconected. If you don't have it stop by your dealerships service department with your registration and they will be able to quicky run your serial number through Honda online and get you your radio code.

Ignition relay or fuse could be the problem. When you turn the key to start do you hear a fuel pump kicking on and or do you have spark when you hot wire the starter (I know it's hard to check while trying to start it)? You can email me back and I might be able to pinpoint it more.

I got 05 Chrysler town &country. Won't start, won't make a clicking noise or anything. There's a red light blinking on the Dash. What could it be?

OK, What exactly does this "Red light" look like? This can be the first clue as to why it won't start. Next, What EXACTLY does it do when you turn the ignition key? NO dash lights and nothing at all from the engine is commonly a flat or bad battery. Dash lights come on but you get a very quiet single 'Click' suggests a bad Starter Relay. Dash lights and a repeating 'Click, click, click' is often a bad starter solenoid. Dash lights and a solid single 'Clunk' is possibly a bad starter motor.

Grab a test light go down to the starter, hook to a good ground and probe the battery cable. If that has power probe the solenoid engage wire( its the little one) have a helper turn the key to start if that gets power replace the starter.

2001 aurora won't start at all. Hook batery up horn horn sounds and doesn't stop head lights stay on but nothing happens when the key is inthe ingition. No clicking or anything at all. alarm on...

The security system does not disable the starter, it only disables fuel to the engine. In the fuse block under the hood, locate the STARTER relay. Place your hand on this relay and see if it clicks while someone else turns the key to start...if the relay is ok then the starter itself is faulty. Good luck, i hope this helps.
