hey scott i tried what you said and both of them i get no voltage change what so ever. i know for one the ignition switch isnt busted since the radio turns off when i crank. but thats about it, could it be that i busted my starter motor? can the starter motor have gotten damaged when i crashed?

If the starter was damaged, it would still draw power, unless the wiring snapped off of it.

On the ignition switch connector, measure each of the wires with respect to ground with the key "OFF", "ON", and with holding the key in "START"

On the solenoid, measure the resistance between the pin that the violet wire connects to and the large bolt terminal. The resistance should be less than 2 ohms.
