My 92 saturn sl wont start, it just started fine the day before and now the ignition turns on and i have power inside but the starter doesn't even click, like its not getting any power. I checked the wire to the starter and it appears to be just fine. Any ideas?

Few things to check.
First is fuses. Make sure all are fine.
Next depends on the tranny type. If auto, check the nuetral saftey switch. This switch will not allow the car to start if it is not in Park or Nuetral. If manual check the clutch switch. This switch has been known to go bad on a few occoasions.
A corroded battery or loose cables can lead to a no start situation. Tho unusual for a starter to die so suddenly your starter, if original has over 16 years operation, so it may be the starter just gave in. Removing and having the starter checked at an auto store may help narrow down the issue :)
