Mazda 6 won't start - what's the cause?
I am having some problems with my Mazda6. The starter motor won’t turn over when the key is turned, but the battery is fine and charged. The car bump starts no problem. Any idea what’s wrong?

Could be a failed starter motor, failed starter motor relay or failed earth to starter motor relay.
