If anyone can help me I have a 1984 720 king cab deluxe auto 2.4L z24 and it won't start. I have a new battery, new starter all fuses are good but it still won't even try to turn over. Any ideas would be great.

Welcome to Nico!

Have you checked for power at the starter itself?

No not yet but is there an easy way to do it without buying anything or a cheap way to do it cause funds are really low right now.

So I tested the starter and all the fuses and the ignition switch and the battery and they all have power but it still won't start or even try to start. I am very confused on what it could be. Does anyone have any idea of what it could be I would really appreciate it.

Make sure when you turn the key to the start position both the big wire and little wire going to the starter have 12 volts on them. You'll need someone to be turning the key while you are checking the voltage, should be easy to reach from the passenger side under the hood... If both wires have 12 volts and the starter is not turning the motor over, take the starter off and have autozone or someone check it.
