Check all under hood and under dash fuses with a test light or multimeter, including the mega 80A fuse. Be very thorough. The starter grounds through the housing and mounting bolts. Make sure everything is clean. I suspect the starter solenoid is bad, since connecting the jumper wire (use at least 12 AWG wire) from the positive battery terminal to the "S" terminal on the solenoid didn't cause the starter motor to run.

Disconnecting the negative battery cable first, clean battery terminals and cable connections with a battery terminal brush, No. 240 abrasive cloth, or steel wool. Also, check the battery ground cable connection to the body and engine. Apply silicone dielectric grease, when finished. Examine cables for internal corrosion.

While the negative battery cable is disconnected, clean starter motor and starter solenoid connections. Apply silicone dielectric grease, when finished. Make sure all connections are secure. When installing the starter cable, make sure that the crimped side of the ring terminal is facing out. Reconnect the negative battery terminal last.
