car wont start, help please

My fd was working fine till one day i went to start it after a half hour drive and nothing. i think something is wrong with an ignition wire or a ground wire becuase i replaced the starter, and i still get nothing when i turn the key. No trying to start but not catching or anything, just nothing happens. If anyone has an idea or a map of the ground wires id really appreciate it.

did you replace the starter originally because you had this problem?

you have checked the battery at the auto part store to see if it is holding a charge right?

Just push start it until you get her going! I have a diagram with some of the ground wires let me see if I can find it for you.

yes i replaced the starter cuz i thought that was the problem because it was corroded inside, and it is installed fine because when i touched the terminals on the cylenoid together, it sparked. Also the battery is holding a charge cuz i stuck a volt meter on it and it read 12.6 but it didnt drop when i turned the key. thats why i think it is a loose wire or something that got knocked loose
