Hey there, my name is Jake.Sorry your having issues, but thanks for reaching out.When you say no power to the starter, are you referring to the large wire or the small wire at the solenoid that doesn’t have power?

Ok, when attempting to start verify if you power at the small wire on the solenoid.If you hear the bendix I’d suspect so just verify and we will go from there

The main fusible links on the positive battery post power that.You need to look through the clear plastic (prolly filthy) and verify of any of those links are blown. If so the assembly is replaced as one piece (all 5 links)

Wouldn’t make sense then that half the fuse box is missing power unless it was damaged or the 10mm nut loose.If you have power at the small solenoid wire though.ONLY a weak battery, bad starter, or froze engine really possible if the links are good

Not making sense.Test voltage at battery post then at large wire at starter

We did all thatOne side of the fuse box is dead if your faceing the car its the left side

Look, I’m not trying to sound rude but if you have power to the solenoid then all the starter needs is amperage which comes straight from the positive battery terminal.if there is sufficient amperage and the engine doesn’t crank, then the “new” starter is bad or the engine is froze.Of course you need a ground also, but still that’s easy to test
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
