Default 97 SS SLP cranks but won't start... any ideas?

So my car has been pretty flawless for the last few months after a combo of ICM and fuel pump issues.

Last Sunday everything was fine. Went to the park with my daughter, and after about an hour we decided to leave. Going to start my car, my gauge cluster didn't come on what so ever. My car cranks but won't start. So issue with a wire, and or a control module.

97 Camaro SS SLP....
No gauge cluster coming on in run/start position of key
No power going to cluster with key on
No power going to injectors/ignition with key on
No fuses popped
Gauge cluster is not culperit and tested ok
Power wires going up into relay/fuse box under hood ok
No power to PCM (hook up OBD2 and system link error occurs)
Automatic night lights not turning on at night
PCM is ok
BCM also tested ok

If there is anything else I can think of I will post it. Checked most wires... just really struggling as to what the hell this is. Also

Yep did that already. How ever... another friend of mine, suggested the ignition switch inside the column. Now that I think more about it... the more I think that that is the issue, as I believe it controls several things...

So turns out the ignition switch was bad, replaced it, and now things seem to be back to normal. Thanks for all the help guys...
