The fuse to which we are all refering is upstream of the key switch. If you hear a buzzer/low oil pressure alarm then the fuse is fine. I would check voltage going to the panel and voltage back to the start solenoid. As Dwight suggested the button could be bad so a resistance check across the button terminals with the key off and the button depressed will determine that. After verifying the voltage and eliminating the button I would look to the solenoid. You may have 2, check them both. It could be burnt out or just stuck...low voltage or high resistance to the solenoid could cause the solenoid to appear bad.
I would take a short piece of wire and jumper from the positive supply terminal to the start terminal on each of the two solenoids. That should eliminate the solenoids...
