[&:] bill could be several things. the ignition switch itself and the starter are two likely culprits but cable connections and battery can cause similar problems. several things to try, tilt the steering column down and try starting, use a hammer and gently?? tap on starter motor. if these dont work try jumping starter big and little studs(starter switch preferred but sacrificial wrench or screwdriver will work). try this and get back to us these tests will help isolate or find problem kurt

[8D] do you have anything plugged into the acc fuse hole?? you could try seeing if theres any other items that are not working in the car. failing to find an obvious item not working i think were gonna need a wiring diagram to help figure it out. what if any non factory accessories do you have on the car??
