2004 2.5L Not Starting

[Johnny Tequila]

I am the third owner of a 2004 2.5L with 54,000 miles. I recently replaced my factory radio with a Kenwood Digital Media Receiver (KMM-BT732HD) about a month ago. Yesterday I got in the car and it wouldn't start. Nothing. No noise - no cranking. I checked the battery and the fuses. Both seem in working order. I'm thinking of taking it to the dealer for repair but before I do I thought I would send this out to see if I could get any helpful insight into the problem. Thanks in advance.

Welcome aboard.
Could be the starter motor. Try hitting it while sonmeone turns the key.
Or a push start?
Other thing it could be is the ignition switch.
Are you in the UK? If so, you may find someone close by who could help you?

Well known for starter motors to fail without advance warning, often a good smack with a hammer will shock it into life and allow it to start the car but it won't last long. Ensure the connections to it are clean and tight before resorting to a replacement and make sure battery connections are clean and tight as well.
