Hyundai Getz 1300 2004 - Won't start no sound - superad

My car will not start, when I turn the key it makes no noise at all, no clicking etc. Electrics are working, lights radio, heater fan etc but it won't start. No warnings given its worked fine up till now. It did have starter motor and ring gear replaced about 9 months ago but all has worked well until now. Any ideas?

You'd expect to hear the starter relay click if there is any juice at all.

Check the fuse on the starter relay - might be "IGN1", going by a poor image of the engine bay fuse box diagram I just found. If that looks OK give the starter relay a tap if you can locate it. If it's blown, replace it and see if it blows again. A knackered relay could take out the fuse.

Warning: I am not a proper mender :)

I would also suggest checking the main earth lead from battery to the engine/chassis.Often overlooked.
