I found the problem finally.  The 12Volts off the starter was loose.
So there was no power to the engine compartment.
The front buzzer would go when turning the key and the starter would
turn
but the other wire on the starter was loose.

Thanks.

Does it have spark? If not check the Hall Effect for output.
