I pulled into a gas station and filled up. Got back in the car and wnt to start it and nothing happend. It didn't even try to crank. I have an alarm which uses the starter kill when activated so I disconnected the alarm and bypassed it completely. I have done this before so I know it works. Still the car didn't start. I tried having the key in the on postition for more than 10 min, more like 15 but it still wouldn't start. The light just stays on solid and doesn't blink.
I figure it's the ignition switch, cylinder, etc that is causing a problem but I have no idea. I checked around the ingition area and the switch, well I think that's what it was got very, very hot when trying to turn the key to the start position. Maybe this is the problem, who knows. I would try to fix it myself if I could diagnose the problem but for now it's sitting at a shop waiting for the sun to come up so it can be looked at.
I haven't had any problems with my key in the past even though it is a fairly old/used key. I also have never had any starting or passlock issues before. Does anyone have any ideas of which component could be the problem?
