Chevrolet Blazer Fuse Problem

Hi,when i turn the key to start all the center consol/radio goes dead,dash lights stay on engine will not crank/turn over.New battery.If i connect a live to fuel pump so it is running all the time and then manualy close the starter relay it will start and run fine.
The engine/service lights are out.
The fuel pump will not prime either when the key is first turned.
I have replaced the ignition switch/all fuses.
Could it be a fusable link,if so where are they.
Please help,thanks,Matty.

links are either at the starter motor or the fuse box underhood.

check all other fuses as well with a test light.

was the connector burnt on the ignition switch??

Hi,yes i have checked all fuses with a metre,all are okay.
The ignition switch was not burnt or damaged.
I have tested the relays ,they are fine.If i put a live onto the field winding on the relays they will pull in and start/run.
I am not getting any power from the ignition switch/key to the main fuse box /relays underbonnet.
Could this be the alarm system.
There is a small red led on the dashboard which is always on! what is this for?
The key phob will lock/unlock the car and the service light goes out with no problem.
Where do i go next.
Thanks,Matty
