Repair beyond my skill set no crank/no start

My '94 has it and so does the Plat. It is very short and has a female spade connector on it.

Here is a picture from the Platinum. I think the '94 has it very close to that position.

Sounds like your ignition switch has pooped the bed.

Get out the VOM and start tracing per the wiring diagram. You can’t diagnose electrics by symptom very efficiently

Are your head lights or brake lights working. May have burned out the big fuse thingamajig?

The wiring diagram links are the second topic under the P80 forum.

If your head light and brake light are out and the fuses are good as with your others... Not sure where it is but I remember with many other cars there is always a large 100 AMP or so fuse where the positive cable from the battery goes into the fuse box under the hood.

Try turning the key on and off, and rotating it just slightly back and forth, see if that changes things. If so it is the electrical portion of the ignition switch gone bad.
