Check your ecm/bcm fuse. I had the same problem changed the fuse can worked fine . Also had a bad signal light caused by faulty signal light socket. put in a new light in signal socket , tried to start car it immediately wstoppede and would not turn over. removed the socket, replaced fuse(again) car started and ran fine. A BAD SIGNAL SOCKET CAN KILL YOUR CAR!!!! !!

The most common problem would be a bad starter. The clicking sound is not always heard in a bad starter. The mentioning of no attempt to turn over shows that the process stopped at start (bad starter) Check the positive cable on the starter for corrosion. Otherwise, you will have to replace the starter. The problem is intermittent,stay aware It might start 2 or 3 times then out of nowhere. it will start give you problems. Avoid the headache, replace the starter.
