if i understand your problem correctly, you've probably got starter relay problems. i can't be sure of this, of course. do you hear any noise when you turn the key? a click, a bump, grinding, anything?

first thing is to get a circuit tester and see if you get voltage to the starter relay exciter wire with the key turned to 'start'. if you do, use a screwdriver to connect the battery side of the starter relay to the exciter wire terminal. if it still fails to crank, test the voltage across the battery posts. if it reads low, the problem is your starter.

that there's the basics of how to diagnose starting problems. if none of that works, the big wires are at fault.

Check for a broken black ground wire connecting to the core support. They all have to be connected.
