No start on 87 260E

Car has been sitting for the past 9 days in garage while I fixed the window's..

I tried to start and nothing. Doesn't crank or anything at all. I charged the battery and it still wouldn't go.
I have been doing all electrical work...so any special fuses I should check that could be causing this? I checked everything in the fuse box just in case.

I have lights and everything works...just does not turn over at all.

Any ideas? Very odd.

And if the moving of the shifter doesn't help and the switch does feel normal....it could be a sticking solenoid on the starter....go under the car and bang on it, then try starting.
