Year and type of transmission would help. People who want to help need to know what you have.

I agree. It is a simple system. So the first things to always check is the Start Relay, Neutral Safety Switch or Clutch Starter Interlock Switch.

Quick check try putting battery power to the solenoid wire at the starter and see if the starter turns over than its probably the relay or something else if it doesnt turn over you need a starter.

Begin with this:

Open the fuse box. Have someone step on the clutch pedal and try to start the engine. See if you hear the starter motor relay click.
If you do, everything before it is good, and the problem may be with the starter itself.
Either way, a bad ground could be the problem.
