If there is no 'click' sound when power is applied, I would guess one of two things.. 1) somehow your connections are not allowing enough juice to activate the solenoid or 2) Your solenoid is not working.<br /><br />If you get the click then it either 1) see 1) above, 2) starter is bad and needs rebuild, or 3) engine frozen, or 4) solenoid contacts corroded not allowing enough juice to spin starter.<br /><br />If you can you might give a couple of light taps with a rubber mallet on the starter itself to see if that frees it up. Lightly though. <br /><br />Just my .02

more than likely if the connections are good, the starter solenoid is struck. As stated above, give it a gentle wack with a mallet which should free a stuck spring in a solenoid
