Assuming that you have checked the battery and that's not the problem (many times you will have enough juice to light the dash and headlights but not enough to make the starter turn the motor over) I would recommend you take out the starter and check the solenoid (commonly referred to as the Bendix). You can do that by applying 12VDC to the solenoid (+) and ground and see if it pops out. Once you've done that apply power to the starter itself and see if it turns over. If it doesn't, as I suspect it won't than you have your problem. Make sure that your battery is in good condition.....and check to make sure all of your cable connectins are free of any corrosion and are all tight......the starting system has to have maxium voltage available, in order for it to work properally.
