You had the car running without the instrument panel connected?

Good question. Yes, I started it several times with the dash out and at least one time about an hour before the problem.

Reconnect the instrument panel and see if the problem goes away. Someone recently discovered that the car senses there is no panel and refuses to start until it is reconnected.

If it does not, then my guess would also be related to the ignition switch.

I reconnected the instrument panel, but the car still doesn't turn over. All dash lights turn on when I turn the key.

A new ignition switch should be here tomorrow. I'll keep my fingers crossed. . .
