Chevrolet Repair: 1999 chevy uplander (van), chevy uplander, starter solenoid

Question
this vehicle ran fine yesterday...this morning when I turned the key over, all the normal dash lights and door alarm go on, but it does not crank.

Answer
HI MARY,YOU WILL NEED TO CK FOR POWER AT THE SMALL PURPLE WIRE AT THE STARTER SOLENOID WHEN YOU ARE TURNING THE KEY WITH A TEST LIGHT OR VOLT METER. YOU WANT TO SEE 12 VOLTS ON THE WIRE..ALSO MAKE SURE THE BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED AND ALSO HAS 12 VOLTS IN IT BEFORE TESTING.
IF THERE IS POWER TO THE SMALL WIRE AT THE STARTER AND STILL WILL NOT CRANK THE STARTER IS BAD..ALSO THE BIG WIRE AT THE STARTER SHOULD HAVE 12 VOLTS TO IT ALL THE TIME.[WITH KEY OFF] IF NO POWER IS HERE THERE IS A BAD CONNECTION AT THE BATTERY OR POSS BAD IGN SWITCH OR NEUTRAL SAFTY SWITCH. SEE IF IT WILL START IN NEUTRAL JUST FOR THE HECK OF IT..LET ME KNOW HOW YOU MAKE OUT,,,,,TOM...
