Jeesh, DurangMan, that's discouraging. Did you try somebody's good 
suggestion that you run a set of jumper cables directly from the battery 
to the starter and then try starting? Did you try jumping across the 
solenoid with a screwdriver or a remote starting switch? These two tests 
would identify any problem in cables and connections on the one hand, and 
the ignition switch et.al. on the other.
