96 buick Regal does not start

I drove the car one afternoon, it ran just fine, parked it in my garage, went back 3 hours later and the car will not start - went thru the following steps to isolate the problem:

1. replaced battery

2, replaced starter

3. replaced neutral safety switch

4. cleaned all terminals that I can see

Still will not crank

Please help

Thanks you in advance

Check all under-dash and under-hood fuses with a test light or multimeter:

If the starter motor won't crank:

If it's a "crank but won't start situation:"

. Check for codes.
. Check for spark. If there's no spark, test/replace the Ignition Control Module module and coil(s).
. Check for fuel. Do you hear the fuel pump in the gas tank run, when the ignition switch is turned to ON?
