put it in 2nd gear.

even the radio works fine, it does not mean that you have good battery. starter need very high amp to turn.
y second?
This is what I always use if I need to do it. 1st is very short gear and dont wanna put to much pressure on it when car start to stall to run. Second gear looks little easy less stall and less pressure on the gear.

Could be the ignition switch or selenoid.

Check if there are fuses in the primary starter circuit.

You really shouldn't go to the dealer without test the battery or the starter first.

Most of the time, it's either the starter or the batter that caused it.
