Default Car is back together, but now it won't crank

Checked all fuses, relays everything. Fuel pump primes, electric WP works, lights work, door locks, windows, etc all work. But it will not turn over. The starter is not clicking, I can hear the ignition click when i try to start. I hotwired the starter off the battery and it works. VATS is already bybassed. Hotwired the clutch safety switch and no change. The only thing that happens when I try to crank is the low trac light goes out. Any ideas?

broke out the multimeter, traced it to a relay where the thick purple wire (from starter) gets power (or not in my case) from a thick brownish wire that comes from the ignition switch. searched the part number (12077867) and it looks like its part of the TDS. ended up just hotwiring the two together and it cranks fine.

K-member and wiring harness were both out of the car.

those are billet specialties street lites without the caps on em. is yours bright teal metallic or quasar? i see very very few bright teal metallic cars in my area

Bright teal metallic, black hardtop , sittin' on 17x9.5 LG wheels. I was thinking about a set of drag wheels and those look stellar.

Im glad you found your problem..or at least a spot to start looking.
