Car won't start. New starter, ignition switch, neutral
safe switch, new fuses, battery is perfect, alarm is
good. When turning the key a crackling sound can
be heard. No gauges on dash board move. Any
ideas will be awesome!

and this is why you test things before throwing parts at them , did the crackling occur before the ignition switch was replaced ? does it turn over ? (crank) do you have a starter relay ?
It has 120,564 miles the crackling got worse after ignition switch was replaced. It has a new starter relay. It won't turn over at all.

at this point it sounds like you need a qualified technician/mechanic . Not the person that has already worked on it because they should have checked for power and done some diagnosis before replacing any parts , now ask yourself is the car worth it ? with crackling coming from the ignition new parts may be damaged who knows ,
That's a very good point. Thank you. And I appreciate your respect, I often come across some men who thinks it's ok to degrade a female for these types of things. I appreciate it. Have a good day.
