sounds like a serious wireing problem or a shorted circuit board. i can't help you much there.

burnt fusable link
if you can jump it it is likely the battery cables dirty on the ground on the motor or where the cable goes in the battery cable end or the positve where the cable goes in the battery cable end the you put on the battery post. also clean the ground that comes from the negative battery and is the smaller grond wire from the negative battery post to the body inner fender. the starter never disengaging sounds like the starter is bad. but i would try a starter first
I burnt a fusable link (section of wire designed to burn out like a fuse) down by the starter on may 81 camaro, vehicle died and had no power anywhere
check the ignition switch it may be sticking. if it is not that check the coil. but it does sound like the ignition switch is bad.
move the wires off the %26quot; I %26quot; terminal to the %26quot; S %26quot; terminal on the starter solenoid. only one wire should be on the small %26quot; S %26quot; terminal and one on the %26quot; I %26quot; all the other wires go to the B+ at the top of the starter/solenoid. fusable links are easy to check just pull if streches its bad. GM used the starter as a junction point or power supply on the big B+ at the top for all systems like lights and sutch then it goes to the switches. start there. GOOD LUCK.
