if the car has a new battery and solenoid then I would remove the starter and bench test it. if it bench tests ok then make sure it is not jammed. does the starter click? if not then it may be wires. check and make sure the little solenoid wire is connected as well.
Check for a good engine earth connection.
Go to the mechanic instantly

Yes. If the solenoid fails to energize to engage the starter, it may seem like a dead battery. However, by turning the lights on and observing that they stay bright even when trying to start the car, it provides the symptom of a bad solenoid and not a dead battery. that is generally true. even better is honking the horn, if it is loud and high like normal then battery may be ok, if is low and sounds sick then battery is down, not necessary dead but needs tending to, further i have seen that if all those things check out sometimes it is the connections on the cables both sides and definitely on the starter solonoid itself. if battery cable is run from battery to starter solonoid and nothing occurs then battery needs looking at. if battery is ok and all fails then solonoid is bad, bad solonoids can be repaired by disassembly and rotaing contact screw 180 degrees to allow a new contact surface. generally takes less time than running to pick up new solonoid and cheaper too
If the fusebox melted there is probably a reason and it would be best to have it repaired proffessionally but assuming there are no short circuits you can run a single wire from the battery positive to the coil positive to get ignition power and then using a screwdriver bridge the main battery cable and small start terminal on the starter solenoid to turn the engine over.
sounds like your starter, some times if you get under neath the car and hit the starter a few times with a rubber mallet or a hammer. It will break free if its froze up, but if it won't turn over after doing that then your starter is toast. If the starter goes it sometimes takes out the battery too. so you might need a new one as well.
Yes, but you cannot leave it for long periods of time or the battery will overheat and boil acid away. Normally a fully dead battery to a full battery should take about 2 hours to charge up at 40 amps.
Dead or weak battery Loose or corroded battery cables Bad Starter Bad starter solenoid Bad Neutral switch
That is probably your solenoid. It is what tells the battery to send voltage to the starter so it will crank the engine over. Most of the time it is just a low battery that makes it make that sound. There isn't enough voltage to keep the solenoid engaged. Although, it could be a bad solenoid. If jumping it doesn't start it then it is more than likely the solenoid. If jumping does start it then you need a battery.
If your car makes a clicking sound when you try to start it, try to jump the battery. If that starts it, check the electrical system and if it was the battery, replace the battery. If jumping it does not fix it, have a mechanic look at it.
you can try to short the starter motor . take a screw driver and bridge ffrom battery cable on starter to ignition wire on starter. if starter is good, engine will crank. if starter is bad , solenoid will click if no clicking, solenoid is bad
Low battery voltage? Perhaps a lose or corroded battery cable Loose starter cable Weak starter solenoid Weak starter
Check for a bad fusable link at alternator
I would first check for voltage at the ignition switch start feed wire on the solenoid(be sure to unhook it first from solenoid). If you are getting power on this wire when turning to start. It should be an issue with the solenoid/starter. Some part of this assembly could have been damaged from the overheat. If no power to the crank wire, I would get a hold of a repair manual and trace the crank wire from the ignition switch all the way to the starter, making sure it has battery power to that terminal on the solenoid. Once you have that and a known good starter she should crank right up. hope this helps.
solenoid is bad ,have it replaced,but check for remote solenoid first some vehicles have another solenoid mounted closer to battery
Flat battery or sticky starter motor / solenoid - try re-charging battery or get a jump start Flat battery or sticky starter motor / solenoid - try re-charging battery or get a jump start
clicking noise when u turn the key to start is either a bad battery or bad battery connection or the starter needs replacing rule out the solenoid, as the clicking you can hear comes from the solenoid
A single click when trying to start the engine is usually an indication of a loose battery cable/wire or a faulty starter solenoid/relay switch.
If it doesn't turn over: Might be: weak or dead battery Loose or corroded batery cables Starter solenoid Neutral switch but they have a fuel pump resistor in front the radiatior, if its bad the car will crank but the pump will not supply fuel
