Why is my 2003 Toyota Corolla not starting and not making any clicking noises?

I have an old Toyota Corolla, and yesterday I went to go get some groceries and it wouldn’t start—I didn’t even hear any sounds at all. I’m a little worried that something might be majorly wrong. What are the reasons my 2003 Toyota Corolla won’t start and isn’t even making a clicking noise?

Oh no! Well, at least it didn’t happen when you had a car full of groceries.
The most common cause of a 2003 Toyota Corolla not starting and not clicking is a dead battery. Unfortunately it could also be a lot of other more complicated things—like bad wiring, a faulty solenoid, or a broken starter.
Start with getting a jump start for your Corolla and see if that gets it going. If not, then your best bet would be to seek the advice of a mechanic for further troubleshooting. Good luck!
