1989 5.0 tbi wont start. It wont even turnover. Why?

I have a 5.0 automatic that just wont turn on. It wont even turn over or crank. Ive replaced the starter/solenoid, battery, alternator, checked the starter enable relay=good, Gear selector switch good. I dont know what else to check. The car starts one time a day.after that it wont start. When i turn the switch open all i hear is the little sound chime but nothing else. The starter just wont engage. Checked all fuses they are good. Yesterday i went to put some gas on it and when i got home i tried to start it again but it wouldnt start. I really need some help desperately pls. Some cables on the battery look corrosive but power is still going throufh them. Any answers will help. Thanks

Make sure the Neutral-Safety switch is closed.

Fog lights are not driving lights. They look dorky. Turn em off slow pokes.

How bout those dorks too scared to drive without headlights on in the daytime!
