Is the neutral/start switch electrical connector plugged in? It's the one low down drivers side front corner of the tranny case. Stuffed in with all the computer wiring just in front.
Or maybe the N/S switch is faulty or sticking, so give it a thump.
More thoughts for consideration, let us know what you find.
EDIT: Can you tell us what "clicks", when you go to "start" to crank the engine?

All Fuses inside engine bay and inside car are good

^+1 on the starter relay. Hang in there & don't despair, your about to find the culprit.
EDIT: Go here, enter your vehicle info, to look up vehicle system wiring pictorial, color code, TSB's info http://www.revbase.com/BBBMotor/Wd

Ok, good test & feedback. Can you hear, or feel the starter relay "click" when your helper turns the ignition switch to "start"???
If so, try thumping the starter motor with a broom handle, or the like & see if it'll wake up & crank the engine.
If no joy with the thump test, with your multi-meter, or a 12 volt test lamp, check for switched B+ to the starter motor when your helper turns the ignition switch to "start". If you have B+ to the starter motor but it won't run, remove it & have your favorite auto parts store bench test it before replacing it.
Also have the replacement starter bench tested Before leaving the store with it.
Let us know how it goes.
