Battery sends power through the battery cables.
Ignition switch sends current to the starter solenoid.
Starter solenoid sends power to the starter.
Starter uses power to spin motor.
Any of these can be bad and will cause the problem that you describe.
If battery cables are bad you will usually get some sounds, so that may not
be your problem.
Ignition switch problems are more rare than other start-related problems.
Does the 93 have the solenoid on the starter or on the fender? If it is on
the fender it is easy to jump between the 2 big posts and try engage the
starter manually. This might tell you if you have a solenoid problem or a
starter problem. If the solenoid is on the starter then it doesn't matter
since you have to pull the whole thing off anyway.
