There should be power on the small wire when the key is turned to the start position, and no power there when the key is in the on position. If there is power at the small wire with the key in the start position, then there is a problem with the starter solenoid, and the starter solenoid should be replaced. If there is no power to the small wire, then its back tracking to find out why. Chances are that it would be the ignition switch at this point.
were would the key start wire be? rowefast

It's the white and pink one under the dash hidden in with the ignition wires.
