‘87 TBI starting fine and dependable. Came out today and turn the key. In the on position, all power is there. I can hear fuel pumps. Go to start position and no noise, no starter click or anything. Where should I check first? I’m thinking an old power or ground to the starter/ battery broke. I’ll replace but is there a fuse I should check first? Thanks!

Short the starter solenoid,does it crank then. That 1 move tells a lot quick. I usually use a quarter or a screwdriver,short batt to S. Easy to spot,should be the only two posts with wires on your application. If it cranks,starter,battery,cables and ground are all okay. Then it has to be an ignition switch/rack,or a broken wire. If it doesn't crank, it is the starter it self,the battery,the cables or lost ground.
