Default '91 Ram 150 won't even turn over

*New User*
I bought a 91 D150 the other day over in OK. Its got a 318, manual, and I drove it 40 minutes homes. Parked it in the drive and now it won't even turn over. I have very little experience but I've replaced the ground connection because it was frayed. My positive is reading on the meter so I know its not the problem. Also bought a brand new battery. I smacked the starter and still got nothing. But I couldn't even hear the fuel pump click on. Weird part is, the door ajar chime is still coming on. Any ideas or suggestions where to start?

have you tried pulling all the spark plugs and then trying to turn the engine over?

I just figured out the problem yesterday morning. I was testing positive connection for current in the battery, and starter, which both read hot. I also tested my relays and forgot to check the wire that runs to the accessories. It turned out that the wire itself had oxidized inside and stopped working. I spliced it back together and she came alive. Now I just have the task of restoring and learning more at the same time.
