Is there power at the starter relay? Also, have a helper turn the key to the start position while you check for voltage to the smaller wire on the starter. You should have 12v. If you do, chances are the starter is bad.

that's why we need to know the voltage going to the starter.use a screwdriver on the fly Wheel to see if you can move it. You may be locked up and thats why it won't turnover.
