Default Non Cranking 3rd Gen

Hello, I am new here and need a little help, wondering if anyone has had this problem, thanks everyone.

I put a new battery in about 2 weeks ago, car started fine, I went to start it yesterday and nothing. I have full battery power, the car wil not crank, I turn the key and the security light blinks and goes off just like normal. Here is wahat I have investigated so far..
  • Fuses - crank, ECM, all other
  • Anti theft relay clicks (looks like it opens and closes) VATS
  • I have not looked at the ignition switch yet - volt meter to see if the switch is stuck open
  • New Battery cables
  • neutral safety switch
If anyone could help here please jump in, information would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Don't forget the starter enable relay which operates the starter solenoid.

Is this also called the anti theft relay? (VATS) Behind the kickplate on drivers side? it has four wires going to it
