Make sure the battery has a full charge and battery cables and connections all good. Your saying the starter motor won't crank the engine? note the diagram, Pull the starter relay, use jumper wire between the cavities on switch side of relay, right side of relay, in diagram. The starter motor should crank the engine. If you try that, make sure transmission is in park or neutral and parking brake is set. Vehicle can't move. I can only help with testing, let us know if starter motor cranks the engine?
