Default Turn the key....Nothing

I have a 93 van with the 3.9 and it refuses to turn over. The radio, fan, and everything inside works. The lights are good and bright, even when the key is turned. I replaced the ignition coil a few weeks ago and it started fine. Somebody suggested the wires may have corroded off the starter. Thoughts?

Yes it could be a corroded wire, but it also could be a bad ignition switch, starter motor or solenoid. You're going to have to get a meter or test light down on the starter and have someone turn the key to see if you're getting power down there.

In a pinch, try putting it in neutral and starting it. It worked for me.
