Default starter and ignition not "talking"

i replaced my battery to days ago went on base drove around a bit. killed it (left it in third with an aftermarket clutch oops) haha started it back up. drove to the base exchange went inside came back out turn the key and nothing. no clue this is the second day straight that i have been working on it i replaced the starter i guess my old one was working so that didnt fix it. everything is hooked up right cleaned the battery terminals and re did all the grounds (tranny and motor) just in case nothing any ideas ? i was able to push start it and drive it home. i just cant figure out why when i turn the key it turns all my dash lights on and all that shoots power to the correct wire but somewhere in the tangle of wires under my dash its charge gets lost before it makes it through the firewall i just dont understand how it happened so suddenly it just works one second and DONE the next.

1995 Honda Civic Ex

fuses are good (unless there is another one besides the one by the driver's knee)

does it turn over at all, or do you just get a "click"? start by checking check all your grounds and fuses

It did nothing just basically looks like I clicked it over to on II you know like I want to listen to music or roll up the windows no click no nothing all fuses were good but I SOMEHOW. Fixed just was confused so I hooked up everything how it was and it turned over and started would still like to know the problem in case it ever presents itself again

Are there little pieces of plastic lying in the foot well that look like blue or white crayon? If so, then its your Clutch Safety switch. (costs like 4 bucks at the dealer to get a new stopper)
