Elicit no response (4,1,5)

I believe the answer is:

draw a blank

(Other definitions for draw a blank that I've seen before include "Fail in search" , "Get no result" , "Get no successful response" , "elicit no successful response" , "Come up empty-handed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
