no power at all

Went to start the car for the first time in months and I have asolutely zero power in the car. Battery is hot, cables are hooked up properly, no lights, won't crank, nothing at all. I'm bad at electrical issues does anybody have an idea of what it may be? Something may be unplugged but idk what... thanks

I would use a test light (or a voltmeter) and check for power at the starter (those orange wires) first. If no power, you have a bad connection on the battery cable(s). It can happen over the winter months.
Or maybe rats chewed up your wiring, that's another possibility.

Oddly I was thinking somewhere along those lines, but can't get back at her till tomorrow. Would you happen to know how many little wires should be connected to the solenoid?

On a 1992 TBI engine, it should be 3:

They are all in the same wiring loom right by the starter, can't miss them.

Let us know what you find.
