New ignition switch should arrive today and hopefully I'll have time to install it this evening. However, I'm not very confident that this will fix my problem. The old switch didn't show any signs of damage - so we'll see.

Does anyone have any advice on whether I should continue to try to track this down on my own, or if I should just let the shop handle it? I've got no issues working on mechanical issues, but electical ones are a different story!

Just installed the new ignition switch - still no power to anything. Tow truck is taking it to the shop on Friday. I'll keep everyone posted on what they find.

On a side note, I have read about how much trouble others have had with removing the switch. I did mine in about 5 minutes, but only because I had this bad boy. I don't think I could have done it with out the flexible extension. I would highly recommend one of these. It was like 8 bucks at Advance Auto.
