HI!

 

DO you have a test light ? I would start by checking for voltage at the starter when the key is turned to start, Thanks ROY!

It would be the small signal wire to the starter motor not the big battery cable , see if you have voltage when trying to start, thanks ROY!

HI!

 

If you go through the wheel well with the tire off you will get to it , if the starter motor clicks with the key in the start position, then you should have power make sure it is clicking if not you will have to inspect it , Thanks ROY!

Answer

HI!

 

You will have to use a test light on the small wire with the plug on it not the cable, and if you hear a click the new starter motor could be bad not a relay if it clicks the you have power at the starter, Thank You, Let me know if you have any more questions, ROY!
