Cranks when in the ON position.

So I have big blue bes, the 87, really a 12/86 300zx as I just found out. I now have power to my cabin and everything seems to be fine so far, except when I turn my ignition switch the ACC doesn't really do anything. The radio doesn't work or at least doesn't turn on, so I don't know if that would affect anything. It cranks and primes fuel pump in the ON position. The START position doesn't do really anything except crank the car some more? If that makes sense. The car isn't getting fuel to the rail so it won't start as of right now, planned on sorting that out after the ignition is sorted. Any help is appreciated, or any ideas of what to do, or what to test.

I would imagine there's either some kind of wiring issue at your ignition cylinder (like where your key goes in), or your starter (or starter relay) is wired incorrectly.
Has anything changed in that department? Was this thing stolen/hotwired? :p

I know there is some kind of issue with the wiring, and no I believe all was left stock. I have pulled off the steering column trim panels to find the wiring is intact and stock, and whenever I replaced the clutch, I put the starter back on in the same wiring, or so I believe haha. Kinda hard to tell whenever you're in the shop for 9 hours on end. I haven't had a chance to get back out and re-jack up the car to check the starter solenoid wiring, maybe I can check the relay whenever I get a few hours, and go run to napa for a replacement. My main concern is should I try and order the ignition switch, or is it a unipiece design, and maybe what direction should I go in to try and troubleshoot it.

Check the fusible links, in the box near the battery.

Which fusible link should I check, I already replaced the BAT one? I don't think one of those would be the problem, as i'm getting power to it.
