Default 2006 Chevy Equinox--Need Help--Starting Issue

So I accidentally wet my fuse box when I was power washing the engine bay. It was giving me problems but I took to my school and they put some Di-Electric grease on it. It solved the problem and after a while I forgot about it and never bought a new one. Well it finally gave out. I went and bought a used one from a yard thinking this would solve the problem but it didn't, the same thing is still happening. I have no idea what could be the problem and I have no clue where to even start.

I also tried giving the starter a couple love taps to see if it would do anything but no go.


Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

have you checked your starter solenoid terminals ? make sure all terminals are clean and clear . or sounds like your solenoid is not engaging fully . just my 2 cents

Thanks man. It wasn't the solenoid but all I started thinking about how sometimes you have to disconnect the power(battery) so things can reset and it worked!!! The car turned right on. Thanks for the help man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
