2004 Honda Element will not start. New battery, fuses are OK. Turn the key, nothing... Lights, radio, windows all work.

Starter, starter relay, ignition switch, Starter cable, fusible link.

Also, don't overlook the neutral safety switch--it may be out of adjustment or it may be bad. First, however, perform an ignition by-pass test:

Put the transmission in Park and remove the push-on connector from the solenoid “S” terminal. Connect a jumper lead (12 AWG), or preferably a remote starter switch, between the positive battery terminal and the exposed “S” terminal on the solenoid. If the starter motor now operates, the solenoid is fine and the problem is with the ignition switch, neutral safety switch, starter relay, or wiring. If the starter motor still does not operate, replace the solenoid.
