It won't start. It was jumped before and started and then it wouldn't start even with a jump. Bought a new battery and it still won't start. The interior lights come on and also the headlights. No tail lights and no dashboard lights. When key is in the on position, nothing happens.

How do you check the ignition switch to see if it's working?
