Exclamation wont turnover.2000 dakata 4.7 4x4

Recently I was loosing 3rd&od gears. Followed by 1st&2nd.It came back as P845. Got a selenoid pac & throttle valve. Changed the valve assembly & selenoid pac as one unit. Replaced both filters.New gasket and the proper tranny fluid. Assembly went good. Went to turn over the truck.....nothing. All shift lights are on. Headlights, signals work. It doesnt read any codes. Any ideas guys.

Fuses are all good? may be electrical, use a test lamp or multimeter to see if the starter is getting power when you turn the key. (this is much easier with 2 people btw) if no power work backwards toward battery looking for anything wrong. if there is power to the starter when you turn the key, you may need a new starter.
