Does anyone know what would cause a starter to not even turn on?

What is your question?

I have a 1990 Ford F150 with a straight 6 engine. The battery is in good condition and the wiring from the battery to the starter has been replaced, as well as the starter solenoid. Everything turns on when I put the key in, it just wont crank. The alternator is new and the spark plugs have been changed. I don't really know what it could be, but any advice would be great.

IF you safely jump the starter, does it work? Is this one with the solenoid mounted on the fender? Make sure it's wired correctly.

I took the starter to get tested and it worked, but we rigged up at home right before that and it didn't. I'm going to get it tested again to make sure, and then with the solenoid, it is mounted on the fender. From when I replaced it, I'm fairly certain it is wired corretly

check the starter solenoid, connections, and test the solenoid with a meter to see if its actually making the contacts
