I got it started by jumping the posts on the starter cylenoid, so I replaced starter cylenoid and it still would not start. I noticed the key feeling a little weird ( does not spring back from start postion)when you tried to start it and also the fact that you could no longer put it in gear and that the electronics were being weird (staying on in lock position, not coming on in pre-start position etc...) I replaced the key lock cylinder, still no luck. Could this possibly be the ignition switch? or any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. thanks
