Sounds like the ignition switch could be the issue, but did you check all your fuses anyways?

Also double check your clutch interlock switch at the clutch pedal. You can bypass it with a jumper wire to see if the engine will turn over.

Sounds like a blown ignition fuse Gary, possibly a result of a worn out ign switch. Here is the fuse diagram:

It may be a fuse. The 1st fuse in row c was burnt. I'll be very happy once I put a new one in and she purrs again.

I'll update this afternoon. Thanks.

Gary read my post from a few months back. Same issues even the C1 fuse.
Its from being lower than OEM.

Car died today, ideas on cause?
