i checked the fuses and they are all okay. i really need a schmatic and i will need to test the voltage everywhere i guess. does anyone have any other ideas?
another thing i forgot to mention was my speedo and tack are pegged and the door locks get power but that is all, what should i do?

i am willing to bet its the fusable link or the terminal on the + on the starter is coroded , my 99 expy did the same thing and it was the terminal then a week later the fusable link blew ( its a lil hard to test the fusable link ) if you use a test light all it takes is a lil strand of wire to still be conected and itll set off the test light , and same goes for a resistance test it will show resistance throwing you off ( mine did ) thats why it took so long to fix the issue

wich silenoid ? theres 2 the one under the hood and the one on the starter , take a set of jumper cables and put one on the + of the battery and the other side on the + of the starter and with your key in the on position jump the silenoid under the hood with a screw driver ( it should crank and fire ) if it dont crank id take your starter out and go get it tested , also the + terminal conector on the starter ( the one that conects the main power to the + on the starter ) those conectors get corroded pretty bad , i just had to redo mine not that long ago do to a no start issue , hope i helped , i know i lost some hair wen i had a issue like this with my truck
