Look under the hood for the starter relay using a jumper with a 15 amp fuse (dont forget to put the bird in park or netural with break on) jump relay number 30(battery power) with 87(wire to starter) just touch it for a second. this should cause her to crank, if so then the problem inside the bird. the ignition switch at the bottom of steering colum is one the clutch switch behind the pedle or netural switch on shifter in center console. If you have a clutch then jump the the two wires at the the pedle together then try to crank the bird. If auto then unplug the five wire flat plug on the shifter. Then jump the orange/black and black wire together try to crank. That should help pin point the cause

Smack the dog **** out of the starter with a hammer and see if it starts. Then if that doesn't work put it on jackstands and see if you're getting power to the starter with the key turned like you're trying to start it.
