Will a bad solenoid make no noise when you turn on ignition?
Atherntim
If your battery has a full charge, and NO noise is heard. It is most likely a lose or broken wire from the battery to ignition switch or from ignition switch to solenoid. A bad neutral switch may also be the problem or a blown fuse. A clicking noise would indicate bad solenoid contacts or a low battery charge. Although the a solenoid may be At Fault, the other reasons are more likely. Note: On cars without automatic transmissions, check the clutch interlock switch.
