    Most likely is the so;enoid make sure your battery is fully charged.Good way to test a so;enoid is take a screw driver between terminals on solenoid and jump them together be careful you will get some sparks but if it turns the starter motor its your solenoid time to replace

    try to clean all the terminals first and charged the battery. then check the celinoid. if all that fails then u need to clean ur starter. take it apart and clean it and the brushes in the rear side of it with some brake cleaner. thats what i had to do to mine just recently and its working perfect now

    Sounds like the solenoid. It'll make a clicking noise when you hit the starter button. Do what someone else said and use a screwdriver to bypass the solenoid, if it turns the starter you know it's the solenoid.

    If a fuse was blown it wouldn't make a sound at all.
