Default 550 SX electrical question

Any ideas on why it wont turn over, click or anything. Battery is good. Starter was good (I am going to switch starters with a spare this weekend) just to verify. Is there a fuse somewhere on it? It ran last year and then I went to jump an old battery to get the water out and now it wont do anything... Any ideas welcome, thanks in advance.

I would start from the basics. check all your wiring for continuity. I was having the same issue and it ended up being the negative cable, the wire connector was barely attached and I had no ground.

Also make sure all your wires have a solid connection. I've connected my battery once and didn't screw the terminals down tight enough so the connection was loose.

Moserm11 is correct. I spent hours and two solinoids trying to figure out why the trim on a boat would only work intermittently. It ended up simply being that the negative cable that went to the battery was not tight enough and I only got connections on occasions.
