i have checked all fuses and wire connections on my 2003 saturn L200. the starter was making a metal clunk noise when starting it cold. Now there is no sound, no anything when i attempt to start it. All lights and indicators work, but the car wont start or make any noises at all.

U have to see if ur getting power to the starter start by checking ur battery cables are clean and tight those batterys leaked alot into the postive battery cables causing alot of starting problems make sure ur battery is good just because u see dash lights doesn't mean ur battery is good.those lights take very little power compared to ur starter.If all that is good then u need to check ur trigger wire on ur starter make sure it gets power when the key is in the start postion I think it's a purple wire on the starter it's the little wire on the starter if all checks out and u have power to that wire in the start postion then bad starter.I have seen some bad ignition switchs too so that's why it's important u check that starter wire.let me know what u find.also donations and feedback greatly aprechiated.
