Default No crank

Got an 03 350, I've been reading through the forums and have done some of the other solutions with no luck in fixing the problem.
Out of nowhere one day I came out of a store to start my car and nothing, I'm getting power, all lights come in, fuel pump primes, no crank, no sign of any power to the starter.
Brand new battery only about a month old, new starter about 3 months old, new starter relay, new clutch safety switch.
The wiring for the clutch safety switch was hard wired for a few months while waiting for the new switch from Nissan. I got the new switch about 4 days after she stopped cranking and I am still getting nothing.
I can still push start the car so I know she turns over.
Battery terminals were cleaned then replaced
All fuses and relays checked out to be good

Any input would be helpful

Recheck the wiring to the clutch safety switch. You've got an electrical connection loose or missing somewhere, possibly a ground.

I've checked the wires, they all seem to be good. I tried to hardwire the wires again and no luck. I've got extra wire laying around, I'll try to rewire the switch.

Are you actually getting power to the starter (verified with voltmeter)? The starter could be stuck.

I haven't personally checked but a mechanic I brought it to said there was no power to the starter. So I replaced starter relay and the starter as well. Nothin.
A bit more info when I go to start it, I get nothing as is I'm not even holding down the clutch pedal.

If you want to spend money before fixing the problem at least buy a test light or a power probe to help figure it out.

No power at starter? Ok, was there power at the relay? Yes, problem between there and starter. No, then check for signal from ign. And so on.

Well problem is solved now. No power was being supplied to the ignition relay. Bypassed the stock relay made a custom relay fitting for it in the fuse box in front of the battery, connected the starter signal wire to it, added a fuse in the power line hooked it to the battery and problem solved, for now.
