Did you check all of your fusing?...Do you even get a tick/click of some kind when you turn the key?

Does the fuel pumps prime? Does all your vital engine lights come on in your dash bezel? Have you tried disconnecting your battery and re-connecting it? Try a reverse prob on your starter with your DMM

Also you could've broke the key locking pin inside your steering column. Is the key hard to turn? does it turn further than normal? does your steering wheel unlock?

Steering wheel unlocks , key isn't hard to turn , i get no clicking sounds not nothing when i go to turn the key , when go to turn it i get all dash lights etc.... on like normal on bezel , dome light comes on , but when go to turn it i don't get no clicking no sound of anything.

try starting it in neutral, or try slamming the gear selector into park.

i won't get nothing at all man. 2morro i plan on checking voltage at the starter want to also check the coil on side of the firewall anyone know how to check that exatcly though. This vechile is a 93 ford explorer v6 4.0L.

Check fuses, fuseable links, might be the starter solenoid

my first guess would be the starter since you said voltage is fine and there's no clicking or anything

usually even if it is the starter it will click and fail.. check you spark plugs wires etc etc.. or idk if you have a shop that does free inspections.. we do near me.. but to have to drag it there and back would be the issue

Anyone know where this starter is located on a 93 ford explorer v6 4.0? Also anyone know hwo to test that coil on the side of the firewall by the battery?
