    Also test the voltage of the battery, lets start at the beginning!

    So we established that you have 12 volts at the purple wire coming out of the ignition switch when the key is in the crank position correct? If so, the purple wire goes to the neutral safety switch. You will see a connector at the NSS with two purple wires. In and out. The NSS will only let power through it if the car is in park or neutral

    So with the car in park or neutral, test for 12v at both purple wires. With the key being held in the CRANK position, the neutral safety switch should have 12 volts on both purple wires- 12 volts into the switch and 12 volts out to the starter.

    Also! One of the ground wires were destroyed (end was cut off but we replaced it and still didn't work for us But it was for the voltage regulator) also! We put some fusible links on her! But I have the day off tomorrow from work if you want to give me a few more steps that we can do tomorrow

    That's the connector for the turn signal switch. Not the ignition switch.

    Jessie- was that meter reading 9 volts or .009 volts? I see two zeros in front of that 9.

    Test the battery voltage as Harold suggested. We need to make sure your battery is fully charged

    Also! I mistakenly left the car on While I was at work but I'm just charging the battery as we speak, so just check on the neutral safety switch for the purple wires?

    Also, should I take the two purple wires on the neutral safety switch off or check when their on it?

    With the car in park, both purple wires should have 12 volts on them when you hold the key to the crank position. The voltage goes through the NSS.

    Check the battery!!!!

    Change the scale on your meter from 500 to 20. It will move the decimal over

    Your battery is essentially dead, still. It should be at 12.6 to be fully charged. It may start at 12.15V, but that is really low. Keep charging it until you get 12.6V before you do much more. Since the problem persists after replacing the starter, I think that the battery might be a problem. A simple way to check is to turn on the headlights (with the battery charger disconnected). If they come on strong, the battery is probably alright, though it is currently still pretty low on charge.
