I just got off duty(military) to find out that my nephews bravada won't start for him, I checked the battery(its good) the issue is when he goes to turn the key there is nothing that happens at all, no noise whatsoever no click no engine turning. Nothing all the dash lights come on like the should etc it just seems like there is no current going to the starter, I am thinking it might be the relay switch?( Not sure if thats the proper name) but the block located on the firewall where there are wires that are bolted to it, one leading down to the stater etc. Any input would be greatly apreciated, thank you in advance!

Possibilities here could be a blown fusible link, the starter, starter relay, park and neutral switch and ignition switch assuming the battery condition and connections are good.

Do a simple starter test if you have a meter/test light, at starter (big wire) 12 V, get helper turn to crank while checking for 12 V at ignition wire on starter (little wire). If both have power and wont crank suspect bad starter.
