Good call. Yes the large terminal is direct to battery/alternator and is always hot. The smaller of the two terminals is only hot when the key is turned to the start position and EWS is sending the signal to start. The larger (mid sized) black wire is the ground for the starter. You need to see if you have power on the signal wire when the key is turned to start. If no power when key is turned to start, check the starter relay and then (as wolferj said) your EWS.

When you say ignition switch, do you mean the tumbler (where you stick the key) or the actual switch on the opposite side? If the tumbler did you make sure to fully reconnect the black ring and wire for it that goes over the keyway? If that isn't connected properly you will never send a signal to the EWS.

Let us know what you find out.
