I have a 2001 Chevy Blazer 4.3. I have 12 volts showing on the volt meter, lights, windows, radio, all fine, just not getting power to starter?

Did you check for voltage at the starter? Did you try cranking in neutral? Any testing of the starter circuit, make sure the tranny is in park or neutral and a functional e-brake is set.

The purple wire at the starter solenoid S terminal, should be hot with key in the crank position. Use a digital multimeter across battery posts, have helper turn key to crank, whats the reading?
