thanks for your help ken, found a wire from the starter motor to the ignition switch burnt out, replaced wire. got the car to start but when you release the key from the crank position everything loses power, apperently the ballast resistor is at fault, i didnt even know what a ballast resistor was untill my old man says every car has them are you stupid or something. thanks for your help

this must have been rewired at  some stage cause i can't find any pink wires at all at the switch, thanks for the advise but it might be time to take a trip to the auto elecs

thanks for that, ill try that tomorrow when its a bit lighter and i'm not so frustrated.

Just wondering if anyone can help out, my hand me down fe had an ignition switch meltdown, after getting new ignition switch i can't get any power to the switch. Thers power to the starter motor from the battery, but i dont know where it goes from there. I don't seem to have any power to the fuse box, is there another main fuse that could have blown when the ignition switch gave up.

Any help would be great thanks
