Hi all, need some help. Changed light bulbs in steering wheel and used car after with no issues. Went out 30 minutes later and when I turn the key I get nothing from the engine, no clicking or anything. Car has full power all lights and radio and headlights all work fine. When I changed the steering wheel bulbs I disconnected the negative battery terminal per the instructions found here. Not sure what to do, any help would be greatly appreciated. Not sure what to do.

Battery needs charging probably

Battery is charged, do you think it could it be the starter?

Very possible. Although my guess is still on the battery. Cheaper and less effort to test first .

Ok, I'll check that first in the morning. Also battery is only 3 months old. Thank you.

Lights on, try and start. Lights stay bright starter/circuit, lights dim considerably, battery.

When trying to start it earlier the lights were fine no dimming at all, battery was recently replaced. Thank you.

Update - Just replaced the starter and that was it, car started right up. Got the starter from advance auto, carquest remanufactured paid $81 with tax using a $40 online coupon. Thanks to all you gave their advice, greatly appreciated. Car is a 2006 TL with Navi, 146,000 miles
