Part II of Ignition Switch and Key - I need help! Or Hotwire instructions! SOLVED!!!!! 200 1990

Dave called it. It was a corroded wire in that power junction box on the left fender. I had my key in position II, unscrewed the mounting bolt and jiggled it and the lights came on and so did the blower motor. I disconnected the negative and cleaned off the white crud and put the cable on and the car fired right up.

I do think I needed a new ignition switch after 350K miles. It does seem sharper and less
Slacky feeling.

I really appreciate everyone’s help. It is crazy how we skip over basic stuff like “does have power”?. Although it was intermittent so it did disguise itself. The car is safe at home and is going to get treated with a nice wash for having to live in a parking lot for a few days.
