Exclamation Car Wont START!!!

Figured you guys may have run into this. I just removed the ABS, Power Steering and horns from the car and it wont start. Everything that was dont since last time I started is as follows. K-Member, Lower control arms, Manual Steering rack, Spindle set-up, Front brakes, Remove horns, Remove little vacuum canister next to horns, Remove ABS, Remove Power steering, Race water pump, Cut all connectors from ABS, A/C, TCS etc. to the wire loom (Need to remove it all but thats for another project). When I go to start the car it does nothing fuel pump goes on etc. but no crank and when I turn the key the fuel gauge goes to E. Ive been looking around for a possible bad ground and no luck. There was a ground however on the ABS unit but it went into the ABS connector so it got cut along with the ABS harness. Another thing is a 15 amp fuse in the engine bay has no power it is labled strtr which in the manual is Power Control Module (PCM), Clutch Petal Switch. (my car is an Auto). I bridged the bolts on the starter and it turned over so I know the starter isnt frozen up. When I turn the key the small wire to the upper bolt on the starter gets no power. Maybe a Bad starter relay? Hoever why isnt the 15 amp fuse getting power? Any Ideas? Things to check I would greatly appreciate it my car has been down for about a month and Its finally done and now no start!!! Thanks guys

Joe
