If you put your foot on the brakes and the dash lights come on, first check your directional bulbs. You may have put in the wrong one.
First check for power at the starter. Use a test light and check between the big battery cable and an engine ground. This should be light all the time. Now check the small wire on the 'S' terminal of the solenoid. It should light with a helper trying to start the car. If both are light, you've got a bad starter/solenoid.
If you do not get the light at the S terminal during crank, you should get a wiring diagram. You could have a bad ignition switch, neutral safety switch, open fusible link....
Test first
