Default Scion tC wont start.

I have a 2006 tC that doesn't start up when I depress the clutch and try to turn it. There is no sound at all. The battery and all the terminals are good/clean. I also disconnected the clutch sensor wires and connected them to each other to see if I had a possible bad relay. Nothing. The car had been taking a couple seconds to turn on previously so I'm thinking the starter may have gone out. I'm no too familiar with Scions so any information would help a bunch. Thanks

Yes I can push start it. The battery seems to be fine, it has a charge and I tried jump starting it and it still wouldn't come on.

Okay. Well, if you don't hear any clicking when trying to start it, its likely the starter.

Did you try tapping the sarter to see if it started that way?

take off the starter and have it checked at your local autoparts store, its very easy to change on these cars

I think if you can get it to autozone they will assist you with the starter and check it all in one shot I know they do battery's but does sound like the starter
