94 Camry won't start - no crank, no noise.
I have a 94 Camry 4cyl, which won't start. When I turn the key, there is no noise or grinding coming from the starter. I tried to jump it just in case something was up with the battery, but that did not work. The battery cable connects are fine. Not sure what to check next. This happened two times about 3-4 weeks ago, but then it started all of a sudden. And today the same thing is happened. Could this be the starter or the ignition?

Have you checked the battery cable terminals where they connect to the battery?
Battery cable ground points, the connection between the cable and end terminal?
Check the autozone website at www.autozone.com to learn about the starter system, how it operates and the layout of this car.
The problem could be a bad starter solenoid or the starter relay.
To check for a bad solenoid, use a jumper cable to apply power directly from the Pos battery terminal to the starter motor. If the motor works the issue is the solenoid or battery cable running to it.
If it does not work apply power to the small terminal (where a small wire connects) on the solenoid. This will bypass the starter relay. If the motor turns the issue is the starter relay circuits.

My question now is, how can I prevent this from happening again? Should I replace the terminals on the cables? Is this a sign that I need a new battery?
Thanks in advance!
