Stupid Trans Am is having a problem starting

I'm sick of this car........it won't start.

Battery is charged. I just put in a new starter and altinator 2 weeks ago. One thing I did notice is when I put in the new starter every couple of starts I would hear a clicking sound as the engine cranked over. I'm assuming it was a short somewhere. Now that short is completely shorted and the car won't crank over. Can you guys give me an idea of where this short might be?

If the voltage at the starter S terminal (purple wire) is low, check the neutral safety switch in the console - or try starting it in neutral, instead of park. If the voltage is low at the NSS switch yellow wire, check the ignition (start) switch.
