Late 90s Toyota Rav4 will not even click when I turn the key. Battery seems to be good, connections are good, the fuses I can get to, look OK. What else could it be? Garage kept, no sign of rat chewing the wires. I really need to get it running.
Not sure I can get to it, but will give it a try in a bit.
Possible the interlock switch (plastic POS) that won't let the starter engage unless it's in park or neutral is broken/malfunctioning. I've had to replace a bunch of them in various make/model vehicles.
I’m guessing it’s the battery. I see them go with no warning at all. I’m not free at the moment or I’d bring a jump box over to see for sure.
Do you have another car or a neighbor that can jump it from?

Not all the way in park? Try resetting in park.
Battery and/or starter . Clean the terminals on battery. Make sure alternator is charging after starting.
Damn Nippon Denso starter contactors. BTDT. Twice.
Good possibility. My truck starter gave me no warning. Locked up so tight it would do nothing. Everything worked but when I went to turn the key, all the dash lights would go out like it was in start mode but nothing, not even a click.
