so everything worked and after you replaced the starter contacts most things don't work?

Better check all your fuses to make sure you didn't pop a few then go from there

I still think that you have a fusible link burned out. I'm willing to bet that you have no power to your ignition switch.I'm gonna ask a stupid question. Did you disconnect the battery when you pulled the starter? If you didn't one little arc could have burned a fusible link. I think that main fusible link on mine is green. Test for power after the link. Usually you can see them burned.
