Real quick, is there a jumper that can be made to start the car in the case of a failed ignition switch?

I turn the key and the only thing that goes on is the clock. I have a feeling the problem is the ignition switch. I just need to get it to the shop tomorrow before it closes!!!

Thanks in advance!

 

Check your battery voltage first if you haven't done that yet. So, you aren't getting any lights at all on the instrument cluster? If your battery voltage is good reach behind the column and try to press or jiggle the ignition switch case back into the housing. That might buy you a start or two. The bad thing is you need to have power to the DME and that means the 'key on' lights have to be lit. If you can get the dash lights on you can push start it very easily. Hopefully you have an early car, much easier to replace the switch.

I went through ignition switch hell for years on my 951.
