Suggested Repair

Check the fuses before replacing the ignition switch. If the fuses are good and the fuel-pump relay fuse has power, inspect the related wiring. The owner later reported that the ignition switch restored starting and radio power.

An expert advised testing the fuses first and checking the wiring if the fuel-pump relay fuse had power. The owner later reported that the ignition switch fixed the problem.
