Default No start, no crank issue

1998 S70 2.4 AT NA
Problem: Car ran fine, parked overnight, next day no start. No turn over. I get all dash lights, including a flashing arrow, some clicking under dash and hood. Headlights turn off when key is turned on. Also noticed the two lights on the SEW switches would blink, as well as alarm light.

What I have done:

Newer battery,
New starter
Turned key and moved shifter P & N and shook it around a little
Ran shifter back and forth 10-12 times to clear contacts
Replaced wire connector for the four wires going to positive terminal
Replaced battery in key fob
Disconnected battery and reapplied
Rotated relays and fuses associated with starter

Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance

Will the motor turn over with the crank bolt, like turning the motor to do the timing belt? Maybe the motor is seized. Second guess would be a bad PNP switch.

Finally had a chance to check to see if the engine seized. It isn't, so I will be looking into the PNP switch.

Thanks

Just me but I would diagnose the problem instead of just guessing..

Do you know how to use a multi-meter (VOM)? Do you own one? Do you have a schematic?

I do have a volt meter, and will be finishing that process this weekend. Work has been a bear, and I have only had time to work on this bits at a time.
