Yeah, lots of them. When you turn the key, can you hear the starter solenoid click?
If yes, then check all the cable connections from the battery to the starter solenoid, solenoid to the starter, and also the ground cable which should come from the block back to the negative battery terminal. If the connections are good, you might just try jumping around the solenoid, for a test. Take a jumper cable and connect from the BAT connection to the STA connection, and see if the starter turns over. If so, the solenoid is bad.
If the solenoid doesn't click when turning the key, try shorting from the big BAT connetion to the small S connection on the solenoid (small terminal, right next to the big BAT connection). This should cause the solenoid to energize, and put power to the starter. If the solenoid energizes (clicks) then there's a problem getting voltage from the key to the starter solenoid. Could be the ignition switch or somewhere in the wiring.
With any of these tests, be prepared for the engine to turn over. Tranny in Neutral, emergency brake on, tires chocked, hands away from anything that might turn (fan, belts, etc). BE SAFE!
