I think my Ignition is bad. What happens is, when I turn the key to the on position, only the radio will come on. The dash lights do not light up. The headlights work so does the horn, etc. But the car won't start. It won't even turn over. I need to limp this car home. Any suggestions?

 

get a new ignition switch, unplug the old one, plug the new one in, and use a small screwdriver to work it

 

I little more help than that please. Elaborate thanx

 

like?

there are a half dozen wires that need to get power,. along witht the start wire, plus, the key needs to be turned on(to unlock wheel, and have the VATS signal OK)

easiest way is a new/working switch, plugged into the harness, switch is mounted on top of the column, halfway down to the firewall

 

Thats alot mre help thanx. The switch is that a gm only part, a local parts store would'nt have this would they

 

should be able to find local, probably in the brand "Standard"

 

I replaced mine following shoebox's site:

When you try to start the car is the security light on? If so you might have a VATs issue.
