Update:

I found that the positive terminal was all burn up due to the previous owner red necking all the wires (i.e. twisted wires wrapped in electrical tape, exposed wire, frayed ends etc.)

I replaced all the wire and checked that the battery is charged and the starter is getting power.

Now for the weird part. Even though the ignition cable is hooked up properly, when you turn the key nothing happens. No lights, no fans, no starting. I checked the fuses. No blown fuses and the ignition slot runs straight through without a fuse.

Any ideas?
