No power to solenoid

On my 96 Escort Wagon I am not getting power to the solenoid. When turning the key over there is no power going to the starter and the starter does not turn over. Any ideas or anyone with similar problems

Start simple check your battery has enough power and conferm that the connections/wires are good going to the solenoid.

I assume you are talking about the small wire going to the solenoid and not the battery cable. I would run a wire dirrect from the battery (+) to the solenoid and see if it starts. That will verify that the sarter and battery are good. If it starts then I'd look at the neutral safety switch or clutch switch depending on your transmission.
