    it might have a bad soleniod, you could still have a bad ground even if your lights work or you got a bad solnoiod or starter from the auto parts store. ck the the ground 1st, if it clicks that means the soleniod not engaging, no click means no juice is getting to the solniod to engage starter

    Manually turn the engine over with a breaker bar or ratchet. You are checking to see if it is locked up or not.
