The ignition switch has been broken and the car will run but nothing else works blinkers or gauges.

The ignition switch has more than one power wire that is used to operate the car, if the ignition switch is broken that is what I would replace first. Here is how the job is done and I have included the ignition switch wiring diagrams so you can see what I am talking about. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
