Not even a click? Have you tried a jump? Check all the battery harness connections - at battery, at starter relay, as starter & solenoid. A voltage drop test at the starter can tell you if power is reaching it. Assuming you don't have an ignition circuit problem, check the starter relay too.

I don't know what testing you have done? Make sure battery has a full charge and connections are all good. this is just a quick test to see if starter motor will crank the engine. Unplug starter relay, use proper jumper wire between terminal 30 and terminal 87. Terminal 30 hot all the time. It should crank the engine. If you try this, make sure tranny is in park or neutral and parking brake is set.
