you ned to start right back at the battery and go up from there checking for power and checking the connections including grounds. make sure there isnt any corrsion issues as well. you may have a breaker issue so check for that as well. check all the fuses for any blown ones as well.

I had the same thing happen on my 05 700, turned out to be the starter solenoid. Its under the rear drivers side fender mounted to the frame. You can jump the two terminals with a screwdriver, if it turns over when you do this the solenoid is most likely bad.

Took a voltage meter to it and found it was just a loose cylonoid connection. Thanks for the help.
