daily driver wont start! ignition??
i believe something in my ignition is messed up i turned the key on the pump primed and then when i hit the start button i heard a soft thump and now the ignition looses power every time i put the key on run when the key is not in the ignition has power
battery power atleast enough to make some impressive sparks when the jumper cables bumped together
starter soleniod is new starter is new
but i dotn think that would be it anyways since it looses power when the ignition switch is turned to the run position
this is a daily driver so i could really use some advice ignition coil? or switch? how hard is it to replace the faulty one and do i need any specail tools
i appreciate the help

There is a rod the opertates the actuall switch, pull your steering column apart and make sure it's not broken.

I recently had a similar problem. Tried to start my 1990 Bronco and heard a clunk and then truck would not turn over. It was as if battery had died but there was power. Tried jumping with another truck. No good. It turned out to be a bad positive battery cable. I replaced it for $10.00 and no more problems.
