Sounds like a bad ignition switch to me. Not the part the key goes in, but the electrical part that attaches to the back of the ignition lock assembly.

Either that, or you have no power going up to the switch, but the clicking sound makes me think that there is power to the switch.

thanks for the info. I checked my Ignition wires. It seem to me that, this is problem has nothing to do with inside the hood but inside the car.

As Arne mentioned, check your Ignition Switch, the portion BEHIND where you put your KEY to start.

I'm thinking the switch itself has slipped or the wiring at the switch has been moved around.

Thanks for that info. pls send me a picture or detail description of how the wire look on the back of the socket/harness that goes into the ignition switch.

I've searched for a couple of links:

The first shows you the switch, and the second discusses the wiring and connections you should be getting. Note that the first post has a problem and you need to read the whole thread before you can see where the problem is.
