Default car won't crank, but can compression start no problem.....

checked fuses, checked the starter (it works) hearing the fuel pump prime. just when i turn my key it doesn't do anything.... Battery is fully charged, sounds like a ground problem right, but i checked them like a million times.
Only other thing i can think of is ignition switch, any way to test?
The car does run fine, when i compression start it, i am out of ideas

Check your grounds again. I had a very similar problem 2 weeks ago, I checked all of the fuses, ground, etc , then I rechecked everything and noticed that the ground ( I don't know the exact name) that is around the thermostat housing and was out. Reconnected it and the car started fine.

use new ground wires. sand/scrub the contact patch areas. starter selonoid may be working but its not engaging right.. gear worn?, in all the way?, wrong starter?, bad Flywheel missing teeth.
