picture of the tag on the door ill do some more reading up on the car while im away. will update more once i get back

thanks for the info ill get a picture of the tag on the door . I really have no idea what the po was doing to the car when i got to that mess i was really worried that something could have been messed up which would need alot more time to trace and find. my reaction was just *WTF is this* unfortunately i wont be able to try jumping the car today as im leaving for sacremento for a month.

ok took seats out and unplugged connectors under driver and passenger seat. Also went with multi-meter and checked starter for good connections from positive cable and ground cable (both checked out good.) Double checked Fuse box all fuses good . unplugged and plugged back in connectors on passenger side. also unplugged seat belt connectors. Battery hooked up to charger on starting mode. Tried cranking and still no deal still zero volts going to spade on starter. at a lost now

thanks already downloaded from xenon website

Thanks , do i need to hold onto that button while my buddy tries to crank the motor? also what can i do to permenantly bypass interlock if that is the issue causing no power to starter? "currently doing some homework for my smog inspector licensing classes so ill check the car again later"

sorry you lost me there . what are you referring to when you said "very well could be"

thanks for the info leon & steve i checked voltage to starter big blue positive cable has 12 volts , the spade has zero when i had a friend turn the key to start. also the button for emergency start in the engine bay is broken . No idea if it even works. how would i go about bypassing this interlock with a relay??

thanks for more input guys as stated in first post ignition switch has been replaced with new one. now i will check for power to starter today and where about would i find this relay for starter?

Thank you zed head for the response. The battery is at full charge i made sure to have the trickle charger on it for 2 days and i checked with a volt meter. sorry if i forgot to mention this but the starter did not make any noises . i even took off the starter today and had it tested then removed radiator fan to turn the crank by hand to make sure it wasnt seized. Because the autoparts store guy was saying startings only spin up to 40lbs anything more and it wont spin. ill be checking if theres enough power going to starter tomorrow after noon then i will post updates my first carburetted car so im really at a lost .
