I would start at the WTEC contol, any codes? Maybe what you are doing is fooling the contol by getting the engine started before the contol boots up and inhibits cranking because of something causing DNS.
By "the dash" I am assuming the cover of the PDP and by pins I assume spade terminals on the plug in relays. I would replace any that are significantly corroded, otherwise use a wire brush.
Until your WTEC lights up you will not be able to start normally. Start your diagnosis by making sure the relays and breakers in the PDP are the correct part numbers in the correct spot.
