87' 420 SEL suddenly not getting power from battery and wont start!!

I backed into my garage this evening and shut the car off then realized what a crappy parking job I had done, so I tried to start the car again to re-align the car and that’s when the engine would not start. No noise, no diagnostic lights, no anything. It is as if my battery is completely dead though I put a meter on my battery and I have a full charge. With the key turned to position 1, I tried to see if I could lower the driver’s side window. I hear the faint sound of the window motor trying to operate but obviously it does not have enough power. My headlights will not come on and if I turn on the emergency blinker lights I see a faint glow coming from the red emergency blinker button but that its- I don’t even hear the relay clicking. Its apparent something broke when I turned the key in the ignition, preventing the battery power from flowing to all components of the car. I have a 50 amp start setting on my battery charger which I tried, thinking my battery was not fully charged. When I tried to start the car using this mode, I did get all the dash diagnostic lights to illuminate , but this had no effect on turning over the engine. All I hear is a click. The battery charger also indicates my battery has a full charge. I check all my fuses and tapped on all my relays. I’m suspecting something at the ignition switch it screwed up. Any suggestions?
