Exclamation 1997 bravada key stuck

Just completed an upper end rebuild, had the battery charging and hooked her up but no power, the key is in the run position, tried cleaning terminals, unplugged and plugged it in again and nothing. Before the rebuild it was running. Any thoughts
P.S. the key is stuck in the ignition.

Sorry, gotta ask....
Is the battery ground cable connected good to the engine block?

We never removed the ground from the engine block. Installed new battery, found that the other was bad. Have power at the starter. Could there be a factory alarm disconnect? We have no lights anywhere.
