Answer

You should have battery voltage going into the starter relay/solenoid on the fender. If not, you have a problem with a cable connetion from the battery to the solenoid. You should get battery power to the small terminal when cranking from the ignition swicth on the column. Depending on the problem, either the ignition switch is bad, you have a bad battery cable to the solenoid, or the starter itself is bad, you will need to verify power to the solenoid on both wires and to the starter. The starter can be jumped when removed to verify if it is working, or bench tested at a parts store.
