Try to hot wire the starter. Check to see it's properly grounded and what not. I didn't ground my ZC and it wouldn't start haha.

check your grounds, check the wires on the starter to ensure that all wires on secure.

to hot wire the starter, turn the key to the onposition, and run a decent gauge wire from the battery to the solenoid on the starter.

It definitely sounds like you havea ground disconnected or the starter isnt getting power. When you try to crank it, do all the lights in the cluster just turn off or do they stay on?
