How to fix a Ford Ranger engine that won't start?

I have a Ford Ranger 2005 and I recently noticed that it won't start. When I turn the key, the lights and radio come on but the engine won't even crank. It's been like this for a week now. Any ideas on what could be causing this and how to fix it?

Check your battery connections and make sure they are tight. If they are, try jumpstarting the car. If that doesn't work, it could be a faulty starter or alternator. Get it checked by a mechanic if you can't diagnose the issue yourself.

I had the same problem with my Ranger a few years ago. It ended up being a faulty ignition switch. You can try wiggling the key when you turn it to see if that helps, but ultimately you'll need to replace the switch.
