2003 Pontiac Grand Am

I have been having this problem since I bought the car for a guy. When I go to turn on the car I get no click no noise nothing from the starter. My radio works my lights work inside the car and out, but none of my dashlights turn on at all. When I lifted the hood and shook the fuse box a little it would start up the guy I bought it from said he tightened something so it would start, but everything is tight and secure. I checked the fuses and they are all good. Hoping nothing electrical.

Based on what you are saying you have a problem in the fuse box. Either a bad relay or corroded connections possibly under the fuse box.

I went to try it again this morning and got nothing it won't even start now shook it a little and nothing. My dad thinks it might be the ignition switch,but when I was looking closer it looks like it could be something underneath the fuse box also I didn't think it made sense if I shook the box and it had anything to do with the switch.

The ignition switch is quite often the source of the problem but you indicated it started after moving the fuse box which can also be the source of the problem.

The dashlights come on after taking the fuse box out and messing with 4 wires underneath thinking they are loose, but car still doesnt start. Thinking it might be the battery, but charging it tonight and going to see.
