1. Is your starter hooked up? Check your power & Ground! 2. Battery Terminals goodn' tight?3. Battery o.k. ?4. Double check wiring...

get yourself a long flathead screwdriver... now touch it to the positive terminal and the negative terminal on the starter (Make sure ignition is on!) and if you get a scare and a spark comes out.. then you know you have power to the starter... if you dont see a spark.. then you know you have a wiring problem.. I hope I was of some help...

let me know what works!

There shouldn't be anything wrong with your fuse box... as long as all your fuses are in working order.. this really sounds like a wiring problem. I want to help you but you have to be a little more descriptive and at least troubleshoot it a bit... help rule out other possibilities... It's the only way you're gonna figure it out..

so what happens when you turn the key?list everything that works.. headlights... ect.. Do you have a new battery?Your starter wires connected? U gotta try those things I listed..
