84 firebird starting problem HELP PLEASE

I installed new lock cylinder and ignition switch still nothing. Heres a diagram from what i found. i still cant find if my fuse panel needs a fuse to be able to crank starter. It says their should be a purple wire to my solenoid. But no on the little screw there a thick red wire and on the big screw there 2 black wires.

Re: 84 firebird starting problem HELP PLEASE

I looked at the fuse panel under my dash and i found the crank fuse but there was nothing there and i couldn't put a fuse because their was no connector in there so i remove the fuse panel finding the purple starter wire melted together with my stop/hazard lights orange wire. I separated them and I split the purple wire into 2 pieces 1 piece going to starter and 1 coming from ignition switch. I put a battery up to the piece going to starter and it cranked the engine. So i know the wire is good all the way down to starter. but from the fuse panel back to ignition switch i cant find why my key wont send 12v through it. I put a tester and i get no voltage what so ever. Sp what could be going on now? I'm lost. I adjusted switch both ways still nothing.! Its a brand new switch along with brand new lock cylinder.
