Default Car won't start. God help me....

Well after months of battle, I go to move it into the driveway, no start. This is how it went down.

Checked all fluids. Good
I attach battery jumper box. The cooling fan turns on(key was on POS2).
I get in, turn the key, and everything shuts down. No warning lights, no clicking, nothing. Now I can't get it to do anything. I looked at the fuse cover, I cannot figure out what fuse would cause this. And how do I check each relay? I can't listen for a click because where the fuse box is, the ignition is too close. I end up hearing the key clicking. Did I fry something?

What and how do I check?

Tom-
Sorry I can't help you. Maybe you should post it on the 944 part of the water cooled section...

sounds like the ignition switch assembly may have died. Suggest you detach connector and connect to a spare ignition switch and test that
