First of all the battery needs to be tested and/or charged to full capacity. Your local auto parts store will do that for you. If the battery checks good and all connections are clean and tight, the small purple wire attached to the small "S" terminal on the starter solenoid should have battery power when the key is held in the crank position. If you have power there, I would suspect a starter/solenoid problem. If you don't have power at the "S" terminal when the key is held on the crank position, I would suspect the neutral safety switch or the ignition switch or related wiring could At Fault.
