Do you have 13 volts to the starter when you try to crank?

Check for a fusable link, low volts may have torched it

Volts go way down to .05 volts when i hit the key. i have 13 volts on the starter to the big wire from battery.

i dont see a fuseable link

If the voltage goes that low on the big wire at the starter when trying to crank you have bad wire or terminal on that wire, even with a shorted starter or a frozen engine and a good battery that big uld not go that low. When you try to crank measure the voltage at the battery and at the starter. Check tye ground wire and its connections. All the voltage will not work without ground.

yup.. if a new battery..then low volts then a bad connection somewhere

No, Volts drop to zero when i hit the key.

Zero at Battery, Zero at starter, Zero at Alternator
