Re: Electrical Nightmare HELP!

You need to add a "signature" with basic info about your car.... year, model, trans type and any major modifications. For example, there are sometimes subtle differences in the wiring year to year. In this case, there are different ignition switches for manual and auto trans. That way we can point you to the correct wiring diagram and tell you where to check for 12V supply at the switch.

Battery? Battery cables---cable to the starter corroded?What year car?Might post your car in a sig. Do you live in a cold climate as the battery terminals could be the culprit.Hope this helps.

Re: Electrical Nightmare HELP!

Check for 12 volts on the red wire to the ignition switch. That will tell you if the fusible link at the red "+" box is OK.

Here is Shoebox's info on the igntion switches for manual and auto trans. Check to see if you got the correct replacement. Also make sure you adjusted the connecting rod correctly.

And, from Shoebox, here is your wiring diagram:
