Does your alternator light come on when you turn the ignition on?Have you checked the start relay?Try bridging the 30 and 87 terminals of the start relay mount.Check your fuses and fusible links.Does your interior light work?That will do for starters and try shorting out the small terminal and the main battery cable on the solenoid of the starter .Cheers Kevman
