Default del sol wont start wont crank

I have a 93 del sol that just wont crank. About a week ago I finished puuting the car together, as I was putting the finishing touches on it I decided to go to autozone (in my other car) to get some clips for the bumper and some degreaser. when I came back I jacked the car down to get ready for the first test drive and it just didnt want to turn on anymore. I tried to push start it but nothing. Today I went and got the batter, the alternator, and the starter tested and they all passed.... I even tired jumping the starter direct from the battery but I dont even get a spark, after wards I put some jumper cables from my other car to my del sol battery and repeated the manual starter jump but again I didnt even get a spark.... if anyone has any idea what could possibly be the problem PLEASE HELP. ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY

Did you forget to reconnect the G3 transmission ground and/or the G1 battery ground wires?

Get a voltmeter. Test battery voltage across the battery terminals, test for battery voltage at the main starter terminal, and test for battery voltage at the signal wire on the starter with the key turned to ON(III).
