    Sounds like ignition system OK. Still could be starter or wiring to starter.
    Does it click? Is it binding? With starter out, you should be able to touch to motor and it will work or won't. The click or a test light will determine start wiring OK.
    I doubt the crank is seized, or excessive resistance in engine?

    Make sure to test all under-hood and under-dash fuses with a test light or multimeter:

    I tested all fuses as well as checked the wires to see if there broke and everything is OK

    Vehicle is in neutral or park? Could be at neutral switch, ignition switch, You will need a test light or meter to see where your are losing power. Also needs a good ground. Are headlights bright?or do you know battery voltage?

    Do you know how to jump starter at solenoid? You may not have had a bad starter but bad wire or switch.
