85 corvette - the headlights work including headlight motor. Replaced starter and battery and alternator is tested good what else could it be

Checked grounds was thinking its the ignition switch but no enough conclusive symptoms yet.

Have you checked to see if there is power to the starter solenoid? Are you getting spark to the plugs?

It could deal with the ignition switch itself, but you would have to run tests to confirm that is the problem. make sure there are no blown fuses under the hood in the power distribution box.
