93 ford diesel, batteries have power, but when you turn the key, nothing happens, it doesn't even try to crank. Left the block heater plugged in over night, still nothing.

Check the starter relay located on the fender well. You should be able to trace the battery cables to find it. Check for power on both the large lugs when someone else is turning the key. If you only have power on one side, check the ignition wire on the solenoid. If it has power, replace the solenoid. If it doesn't have power, replace the ignition switch. If they both have power, replace the starter.
