Car Won't Start

I came home and shut the car off. Went to start about 5 minutes later and the car would not start. I have full headlights, acts like in drive. Replaced ignition switch and getting 12V from ignition switch when key is placed in start postition and nothing happens. Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance

Welcome to the boards.

When you turn the key to start it, do you hear a click sound? There's a starter relay down by the pedals and if you can hear it click, then it is good. If not, try replacing that.

If the headlights stay bright when you turn the key to start you have an open in the ignition. Most common things to look for are bad starter solenoid, bad neutral safety switch.........or car not in park or neutral.
