Smile trouble shooting

Disconnect the alternator and hook the battery up. See if you get the spark. Have the alternator checked at the parts store. Pull all the fuses and hook up the battery. No spark, plug one fuse at a time in until you get the big spark at the battery. Remember some of you power item are fed from the hot side of the solenoid. It could be a bad wire or something that uses power like a horn or light. Don't forget the starter, but I don't think it's the problem because the solenoid controls it and has it isolated till you crank the motor. Ignition switch?
