My car will not start! Help!

[B]Ok when i go to turn the key nothing happens..the starter wont turn or anything. The only thing that happens is the battery turns on and my lights and radio and all still comes on. So i figured it was the starter. The purple wire that goes to the starter isnt getting any juice from the battery. So we ran 12v from the battery to the wire and the starter cranked. Ok so now it cant be the starter its something else. The starter cranks but doesnt turn the engine at all. I dont know what the hell to do next. Someone please tell me what is wrong!

Check the ignition switch on the lower steering column for 12V+. If +v isn't getting to the starter it just needs to be traced back until you find where it's losing power.
