Do you have an owners manual? They hide information about theft systems and other stuff in there. Just joking if you can hear the starter click double check battery cables and make sure they are all connected sometimes it's easy to miss them, if good try to tap starter with a hammer while someone hits the switch be careful if you have to go underneath
