The starter went bad So I replaced it. When the key is in the ignition and to the start position there are no warning lights at all on the dash, just the chime that the key is in the ignition. I have check all battery connections and relays and fuses and still have only about four or five fuses that get power.

Hello,

It sounds like the ignition switch when out. Here is a guide and a wiring diagram (below) to help you confirm the problem and get it fixed. Check for power coming out of the switch.

Please run this test and get back to us we are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken

Hello Ken,
I have tested everything possible with a test light and multi-meter. There is no power going to or coming from the ignition. I checked all fuses and relays and have found there is no power to the relay in the engine compartment. The battery is good and there is constant power to the starter but no keyed power to the starter. I thought it may be the anti theft feature but there is no power to it either. I must have a broken wire or something because I am about out of ideas. Thank you for replying.
