chekc for burnt fusible links at starter. see if purple wire at starter is getting power, ifnot it can be a ignition switch, nuetral switch etc. see if battery has same power as battery with volt metere/test light then hit starter with ahmmer on body while trying to have an assistant start, if it starts your starter is probably bad
