Have the battery tested first to see if it's any good.

You'll have to start systematically testing the circuit with a wiring diagram. You could start out by testing for power arriving at the small trigger wire at the starter when the key is held in "start" position.

Hmmm? Battery cables come to mind and connections both at the battery and what should be at engine block and starter.


Guess but is the battery under the back seat of this car? If so cables are even longer and nothing is any better than the weakest link along the way,
