Ensure battery is fully charged, battery cables and terminals are clean and tight, and engine grounds are okay. If starter does not operate, measure voltage at starter "S" terminal (Black/Red wire) with ignition switch in START position (ensure clutch is depressed on M/T or gear selector in Park on A/T). If voltage is greater than 8 volts and vehicle does not crank, repair or replace starter as required. If voltage is 8 volts or less, check ignition switch, park/neutral switch (A/T), starter interlock (clutch start) switch (M/T) and wiring.
