I got it started! The starter relay, i think, which is next to the cannon plug and has 4 wires(2medium and 2 small at base) running to it had a broken terminal; one of the smalls which was blk. plus found a broken blk 8-10 gauge wire broken off the ground mounted to the rear bell housing area. At first I though the 2 smaller wires might be the end of neutral safety switch so I made a jumper since the shifters had already been disabled but no luck. So, I repaired the broken terminal and all is good!
Thank you for all your responses. Especially Zero Patience and Lil Red.
