Exclamation car wont turn over, lights are one and fuel pump primes fine.WTF

ok im trying to turn on my car. the fuel pump primes but when i go to turn on the car it wont start, or even turn the crank over. all my lights are fine and no codes are being thrown. starter wont turn the engine. what could it be. i cant check the starter fuse cause its one of those big blocky ones that arent see through any ideas.

Pull that fuse out and pop another one like it into the starter fuse port...see if it starts. If so, just go get a new fuse tomorrow.

Have you checked for power at the starter yet? If the car isn't even turning over then it's not your fuel pump that's the problem. Start with checking power at the starter first.

How old is your battery? When it gets cold outside, the cranking capacity of the battery will be reduced, even though you may see a good voltage.

Exactly. I know this sounds simplistic but have you checked your battery?

check the clutch switch. when i did a manual swap my car was doing the same thing. you can just connect the two wires together to check it.
