You can jump the starter directly to see if it turns, but most of the time it is the solinoid that has gone bad and you usually have to buy a new starter anyway since they come together. First you need to get some jumper cables and connect the positive from the battery to the positive connection on the back of the starter, it will be easy to find because its the one fat wire going from the solinoid on top of the starter to the actual motor. Second, turn the ignition and if the car starter spins and the car starts up then you know you need a new starter. There is two maybe three bolts that connect your starter. First detach batter cables, then the cables to the solinoid, then unbolt the starter and bolt the new one right up and re-attach all the cables begining with the starter.
