Default Blazer wont start/zero sound

Hey Fellas im having trouble with my 4 door blazer I have a 3500 watt amplifier for my subwoofers, a 90.4 for my mids and highs 4 agm batteries in the rear, 4 0gauge wire runs front to back, and a 270 amp alternator but today i noticed that one of my batteries somehow moved and the wires shorted out over night... thankfully all my amplifiers and everything is okay but now when i put the key in the ignition everything turns on but there is ZERO sound of my truck trying to start at all..... any help on what could be the issue??


I really do appreciate the help very much!!

well not sure what your problem might be but here is something to try charge your battery up and try to start again if you still have the same problem with a good charged battery have someone turn the switch and hild it and take a rod or hammer and tap the started it may be stuck witch would your starter is on the pasanger side of your vehical you should see it through you front right wheel well try that

okay so this is exactly what i did, i left my keys with the ignition on the "on" position, i went under the hood and took out the "starter" fuse and when i bypass it i get 2 wires and connected # 87 and #30 together and it will start up right away.... could it be this fuse not working?


i know #30 is constant power, i checked that with my dmm
