Any tips? I thought about relocating the fuse box.

I did get the car to crank though. Two problems, no fire to the coil fromt he ignition module(wet fuse box I guess). So I jumped that. Then the ignition swith was bad. Unplugged it, jumped what needed to be jumped and it crank right up. Runs rough, but I believe it will work itself out with some attention.

The ignition switch would would make the car turn over, but not crank. When you switched it off, it would hit a place in the turn that tried to crank. That's how I figured to jump the ignition switch.
