Is there a main relay or a fuse that could go out or possibly be disconnected that could have wiggled loose? The car ran strong and great not even 10 minutes prior to this.

Not at all, although usually the CEL comes on prior to start up which is normal it won't come on now.

Does the gauge cluster lights come on at all? Check the ignition fuse under the hood.

Yeah everything powers on, the radio and the cluster but it'll just click all the way over without anything else.

Is the battery low on charge? If not, check the transmission ground wire connection, the rubber stopper that presses on the starter switch at the top of the clutch pedal, and the ignition switch.

Where is the transmission ground located at? And the ignition switch?

G3 on top of the transmission.

You put your key into it.
