Anyone know how to troubleshoot this? Turn the key and nothing happens. Gauges don't move, starter doesn't turn, nothing. Battery has plenty of juice and if I jump the solenoid it turns over fine.
I installed a new ignition...nothing. Tested the plug that attaches to the keyed ignition with a circuit tester, nothing. No juice at the ignition.
Could this be the neutral safety switch? But if so, wouldn't the ignition at least have ACC power? (and then the gauges would move when I turned the key?)
Or is it wiring and am I doomed to finally have to put in a new harness?

Thanks!
