If it has an automatic trans your neutral safety switch (located near the fire wall on the steering colum) may need adjustment.

Under shifter boot or housing. It detects position of shifter so you can only engage starter in neutral.

The neutral safety switch keeps the starter from engaging when the transmission is in any gear EXCEPT park or neutral. A faulty switch would either allow the starter to engage any time or not allow the starter to engage at any time.

What you've got is a 1984 Chevy pickup and have power to everything even the lights work fine but it will not crank What should you be checking?
Start with a volt meter at the starter. Check to verify that voltage comes in on the BIG wire, and if that's working verify that you're getting voltage to the solenoid when someone tries to engage the starter. If you have voltage to the solenoid when the keyswitch is in the "start" position, and the starter doesn't engage... it's the starter. If you're NOT getting voltage to the solenoid, check the keyswitch, wiring and the neutral lockout switch.

Why wont the engine crank over on a 1994 Chevrolet s-10?
That's insufficient information. In general, "crank over" means that the starter is not turning the engine when you put the keyswitch to the "start" position. The starter can fail to engage because of a failed starter, solenoid, keyswitch, neutral lockout switch, faulty battery, failed alternator or just about anything that would drain the battery.
What is the name of a little sensor that sits on top of the starter?
if it bolts on the starter assembly you are probably talking about the starter solenoid. basically its what makes the starter engage. if its a sensor that just bolts near the starter it could be anything from a crank position sensor to a knock sensor.
