if you know your way around the starter ... run a jump wire from + side of the battery to the lug that goes from the selinoid to the starter ... its a brass tab sticking up from the starter and bolted to the selinoid ... if it turns over you will know the starter side is ok ... if it dont then it can be a lot of things from the key switch to the selinoid ... let us know what you find ... tao

Do you have the pellet in the key? Did the security light come on and stay on until you released the key? Did the security light come on at all?
