Car wont start, tried nearly everything

I been having a lot of troubles with my car within the last month. Starter went bad on me, radiator busted, air system leaking freon and now it won't start.

The problem first started randomly. The car would not start and I would push start it and it would work fine for a week or so. It eventually got to the point where I would have to push start it every time.

So far I have tried the following:
Tested battery
Checked fuses
Replaced positive cable
Tested started

The car is usually silent when I turn the key. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a manual 2000 civic ex. I dont think it is the neutral switch bc since I brought the car, I have never had to engage the clutch to start the car.

"The car is usually silent when I turn the key"

There should be a soft hum for about 2 seconds after you turn the key to the run position. If you don't hear it, then your fuel pump isn't turning on for some reason. Check the fuel pump relay.

Re: Car wont start, tried nearly everything

thanks for the advice. I do hear the silent hum and a single click. was thinking i may have a short to my starter somewhere. I know the battery cable is fine so just have to check other connection
