Car has been parked in climate controlled (temperature and humidity) garage for fourteen years. The battery was drained flat and has been replaced with a new battery. Plugs have been removed and upper combustion chamber fogged several times with fogging oil. PCV tube has been removed and valve train fogged several times with fogging oil. Starter was new when I parked car fourteen years ago. No animal contact with any electrical system components or wiring in the fourteen years. I have drained the fuel tank but have not refilled it because I have not replaced the fuel filter yet. No electrical connections to the fuel tank or fuel pump have been removed. I have tried to reset the radio with the four digit security code but it does not work. All interior lights do work. Now, when I insert the ignition key with the drivers door open I get the expected audible beep. I then close the door and turn the ignition key to position two and I do not get any response from the instrument panel. I turn the key to position three and I hear one click like a relay latching but nothing else and nothing else happens. The transmission shifting lever is in the "park" position and will not move to any other position. It was fully operable when parked. There is the original security system on the vehicle and there are no "key/security "fobs, only the ignition key which operates the door. What devices or modules are in the starter motor solenoid activation logic? I do not have any of the control diagrams, but it would seem to me that only the inertia switch, ignition switch, transmission neutral switch, body processor module and starter relay (and maybe the fuel pump relay) would be all that are required to make the starter engage.
