Crank, No Start, No Dash or Interior Lights.

………No dash Lights, or any interior lights for that matter. Turns over just fine though. Checked both fuse boxes, All good.
The research that I have done points to the ignition switch. However (as always) I look to you my esteemed community for advice, so I am not just throwing $$$ at the problem.
Thanks in advance!

Did you check for voltage at the fuses or just look at them? There may also be fusible links involved. Have you searched for a schematic.

And check the grounding starting at the battery terminal.

Here is a link.

Thank You Jotmon1! Should have went back to this post after I checked the rest and listened to you in the first place!
I finally got around to messing with it again due to unseasonably warm weather. After charging and testing the battery, (it isn’t that old). Using a spark tester on, coil, dist cap, and plugs & wires (all good). Opening schrader valve to check for fuel pressure. (there was none obviously due to fuel pump not turning on) And, using a logic probe to test all fuses,as well as ignition switch, I happened to lean on Neg. cable while checking to make sure the plug wires were tight, and I hear the fuel pump turn on!!!!

Changed the Neg cable & she turned right over!!
I’d rather be lucky than smart sometimes I guess. :silly:

Thanks again! Hope this helps someone else as well!
