One other thing you might try is to connect the jumper from the purple wire in that connector, (which ever one goes to the starter), to the "IGN UNFUSED" terminal on the fuse block. You won't need to turn the key to the "Start" position to see if the starter kicks in, just turn it to the "ON" position. If the starter kicks in turn the key back to the "OFF" position right away and disconnect the jumper. Make sure the transmission is in Park or Neutral.

Disclaimer: Since I am not there to see what is going on, you do any tests I suggest at your own risk..... I'm sure I could have the problem diagnosed in 15-30 minutes if I was there, but it is hard to convey some procedures by exchanging messages.
