Hello, if the starter won't crank, check the basics. Make sure the battery has a full charge and the cables/wires are clean and tight on both ends.

There is a purple wire at the starter solenoid, that wire should be hot with the key in the crank position. If it isn't, backtrack the circuit. Neutral switch, ignition switch or wiring circuit. If the dash lites won't come on, you may have to check the feed circuits to and from the ignition switch.
