If your starter is not making any noise and the engine is not being
turned at all, it has nothing to do with the hall sensor.  More likely
not enough voltage and current to the solenoid.  A relay may be needed.

Turn the key and nothing - electrical is fine but starter doesn't turn over.  The hall unit has failed three times previously in about the last 25k miles.  And symptoms are the same this time.
