Hey guys after some research and looking throughout the forum I can think of my issue being one of the two
Starter
or
alternator.
My lights come on inside the car but when I start nothing happens just a simple clicking noise. Radio comes on, Inside lights work.
I thought it was the battery but i took it to get tested at AUTOZONE and they said the battery was charged 100% that it was good. Replaced the battery 2 years ago.
Should i tackle the starter & then move into alternator? Yes fuses have been checked all are good. Checked main relay fused it’s good too. Any other detail I might be missing? Thanks guys!

you can take your start to autozone and get it tested there. I believe they also sell a lifetime warranty starter as well (if it is indeed the issue) which isn't too bad.

Is it the original starter? that would be a very full life if so...

Thanks That was the issue or i thought. i replaced the starter and it shot up after. A couple days later the car was dead again no crank no start. Battery was dead jump started and car stayed on until i turn off no power.
was workign fine for a day or 2 and same thing.

check alternator next

I am pretty sure the auto parts store can test all three: battery, starter and alternator. I'd get them (the remaining two) tested to make certain the correct thing is being replaced.

Check the fuses under the hood I had a 2001 Acura TL with 307 thousand miles on it Dash I filled the tank all the way up same issue crank but no start the fuse box up my car set from February to August until I figured this out
