Default Car not starting, 97 Firebird

1997 Pontiac Firebird
3.8 V6
Automatic transmission.

I've replaced the ignition cylinder and key, and ignition switch.

No fuel pump prime, no starter motor.
My dash lights up and when I turn the key to the "start" position nothing happens other than my ABS and LOW TRAC lights turning on and off.

Here is a link to another thread of mine...
https://ls1tech.com/forums/general-m...-starting.html

Could this be a fuel related problem? (Are there hidden fuses or relays I may not know about? Sensors?)
Wondering if anyone here has any insight towards my problem...

Thanks!

There is a relay for the ignition inside behind the glove box if you take out the glove box its just to the right (passenger side) you have to kinda pull it out of wall but it should slide out with help from a screwdriver on the tab. Its a 4 pin relay.

Im actually having the same issue right now only I replaced the relay and all fuses that relate. Checked battery wires, alternator, starter, even neutral safety switch. Im at a loss.
