Answer
If you have access to a volt/amp meter a good place to start is to hook up the blzck to the (-) bat.terminal and the red to the (+) then when it will not turn over, turn the key to "Crank" and watch the Voltmeter to see what battery Voltage drops to. If it does not drop then your starter is not drawing anything, sugjesting there is an actuation problem(ign switch, selnoid if equiped, or cables, connections. If batt voltage drops low then there is a battery or connection problem, not enough power to turn over the motor. Hope this helps!
