Try the ignition switch and neutral start switches. Check all wiring to the starter for corrosion, loose connections. Get the frosting off the battery cables!!!!!!!!

Are you getting 14 volts @ the starter? Check the ignition switch by removing the cylinder and inpecting for damaged wires. Also get a multi-meter and ohm the switch.

There you have it glad ya got it. Didn't know you had an aftermarket security system on it that kills the ignition.
