Check to see if there is current going to the starter when the ignition is turned to start. If there is current at the starter solenoid, replace3 starter. If there is no current, there are some fusible links on the left side firewall area under the engine. You amight have to remove the battery to access them. Do the checks the other poster suggested and then go where I am talking about. Check for current on the small wire on the starter. Good luck and let us know. Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds
