    Turn the key or press the starter? Generally speaking I would expect to hear nothing.....because switching on energises the ignition circuit but pressing/turning the starter energises the starter circuit which makes the relays click.....however, all being well, the click is drowned out by starter and engine noise. An audible click is normally an uh-oh moment.....

    Next time shes up and running.
    Take it a step back , listen and watch,(film it) then if you have a problem you have a reference of progressions for detailed examination of the elements or structure of the system.
    Sorry that got away from me.:)

    In general, when referring to the manuals - "With the ignition switch on and the engine stop switch at 'Run,' check for a click at the Starter Relay when the Starter Switch is pressed." If it clicks, connect the Battery positive terminal to the Starter positive terminal with a jumper cable to see if the Starter turns. If it does, you have a faulty Cable, Starter Relay, or Solenoid. If it doesn't you have a bad Starter Motor. If there is no click, you need to disconnect the Starter Relay and go through a test procedure on it.
