  If the engine won't turn over, the issue might stem from several causes. First, check the fuse in the control module and replace it if it's blown. Another potential cause is a faulty relay, which would also need replacement. Look into the circuit breaker and reset it if it has tripped. The starter motor itself could be defective, requiring repair or replacement. Finally, inspect the wiring connections for any faults and repair them as necessary.
