Hi there,

Thank you for the donation,

You will have to check for power at the starter solenoid, there should be 12V when key is on crank and there should be constant 12V at the main cable, if you have power as above, the starter is faulty, if no power at the solenoid, you may have a problem with the transmission isolator or even a faulty ignition switch, start here.
