Hi, check to see if there's 12 volts to the small wire on the solenoid when the key is in the start position. If there's power there, the solenoid is likely failed or starter assembly if the solenoid is part of the starter. If there's no voltage to the small wire with the key in start position (not run position) then the problem is in the switch, or wiring. Hope that helps.
