Have you checked the fusible links to see one or more of them blew?

check the fusible links. I can't remember if there are two or three off the top of my head, but all of them should connect to the battery side of the starter solenoid, and you should have continuity between the terminal end of them and the wire that they connect to for each. You may also want to check all of your fuses in your fuse panel, etc., as well as the connector(s) for your key switch.

And all three should be on the BATTERY side of the solenoid. If you have any other wire besides the heavy cable that goes from the solenoid to the starter on the starter side of the solenoid...
