Default 1989 Honda CRX HF Start Problem

So here's the deal. I have an '89 HF and one day driving at a light and I stalled it and then it wouldn't start. I have no idea what it could be preventing the car from starting. I have power to electronics, radio, ect. The battery and alternator are both good. No noises after I stalled and tried to start it. It doesn't crank at all and there is gas in the car.

I thought it could be the starter itself so I bought a new one. Installed it correctly and nothing. It clicks though. I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem and has a solution to the problem. Only other possibilities I can think of is maybe main relay, ignition switch or the wires for the positive terminal to my battery are bad.

Any suggestions on what to do or a fix for it? Thanks.

Jump starting it would not fix the problem. Tried it more than once.

As I mentioned in another thread, there was in the early 90's a recall of these
series of CRX for the "igniter". They were failing so there was a recall to install a different type. Did this car get serviced in that recall ?
