It could be the fusible link is bad especially if your lights work but the car won't turn over. They are wires that connect to the starter that lead to diffferent areas of the vehicle. If it is is bad you'll see the wire getting smaller from a larger wire, about 6" long. It will look all burnt up. Also try the starting in park as well as neutral. Sometimes the shifter doesn't connect to the right area and that safety switch doesn't let the ppower go through.
