That at least tells you that it is not a solenoid or starter issue -- it's either a switch, wiring, or short issue. Have you tried the "jiggle test?" Turn you ignition key on, but don't crank the engine, and then "jiggle" the key to see if you can make the engine crank without actually turning the key to the cranking position. Then reach behind the dash to the wires leading to the switch and jiggle them and see if you can get your engine to crank by doing that.
