Default When I try to start my 850, silence. Any tips?

I parked my '95 850 wagon at about 2am last night and when I go to start it now, I get nothing. My first thought was that I had left a light on and run down the battery, but all of lights (interior, exterior, console, etc) and the cd player are working fine. I'm now thinking it might be a starter issue but I really don't know. If anyone has any ideas for things I could try or ways I could figure out what's wrong, it would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks

Try to start it in Nuetral. If that doesn't work then look at the starter. Try to test for power at the small wire while someone trys to crank it. If you have power and nothing happens then the starter is bad.

If you have no power then it might be a bad PNP switch.
