Starter Won't Crank?

For some reason my starter wont crank. I know there is power because the consule light are all working. It seem that there is no power going to the starter. Could it be my clutch starter swith? How can I by pass this? If you have any idea pls help.

Thanks

Just because the interior light work , doent mean you have enough juice to turn the starter....put a full charge on the battery...then get back to us.

You may have fried the fusable link to the starter...check all the connections to the starter..tug a little on the wires and make sure they hold together...the link , if it is bad will stretch or separate..try that. Also make sure all your battery leads are clean and tight. try that...
