Starting Issues - No crank
Well I am officially in over my head and need some help. I have a 1997 base with 139k miles. I have had her sitting from hurting my knee a couple of years ago and I'm starting wanting to get back in the seat of fun again.
Prior to stopping driving, there was an odd issue when I was driving and knocked into the key while driving, it almost shut down.
The issues I am having are that it won't start. When I put the key in and turn it ACC all of the gauges move and show some info and the radio/accessories/lights come on. When I turn the key to START all of the gauges go to 0 like it loses all power. I hear the clicking in the passenger side footwell and hear the fuel pump going.
The battery is good and has been on a battery tender. It will it start by jumping the wires at the TDR. Once started I can drive around and all appears normal. I have replaced the ignition switch a couple of years ago. There is a VATS bypass as well. The bypass kit (Gator VATS Bypass) and key resistor measure identical.
There are no current codes in the DIC only history. They are:
B0502H
B0507H
B2282H
B2283H
B2284H
B2285H
B2527H
B2567H
B2587H
B2592H
C1255H
C2120H
U1064
Can anyone please help me with this?

Most likely the TDR needs replacing, get somebody to try starting the car and verify it is in fact the TDR that is clicking in the passenger footwell area when the key is turned to the start position of the Ignition switch. Power is switched off to non essential systems not needed for the car to start, and restored once the car starts.
