That was going to be my next step. I was thinking of replacing the switch itself but thought I could check a few things out first. JHolmes217, Nothing happens. With everything hooked up and no matter what position the key is in, nothing works and there is no power to any circuit.

I have a Mallory ignition with dual points. It looks newer. Also the alternator is new within the last year or so. I just bought the car and have not done anything to it except for today.

Thanks Drastik, I was thinking the same thing butI didn't do any new wiring. I just changed to Ignition lock, not the switch. I was thinking some fuseable link or something like that. I did have a problem yesterday with the car not starting. I got a jump and drove home. Found the battery cables lose and the 2 cables in the solenoid. Tightened everythingup, charged the battery and it fired right up when I tried it the first time. Then it wouldn't shut off when I turned it off. From there you know the rest.

Started out with a simple project, change the door & ignition locks. Got the locks changed and started the car.It ran fine but when I went to shut it off, the car kept running even with the key in the "OFF" position. Figured I hadthe lock cylinder in wrong and had to shut the car down. I pulled the "I" wire off the solenoid, the car shut off. I reconnected the wire, pulled the ignition lock back out and reinstalled it. Tried to start the car again, it clicked once and everything went dead. There is no power anywhere, no headlights, horn etc. Checked all the fuses in the fuse block, all are good. I read the voltage across the battery and it read "Zero" volts. Disconnected the positive cable and the battery reads about 9 volts. I have the battery charging now but I should have had enough power to hear a click when I start the car or see any lights on, no matter how dim they may be. I'm at a loss guys. I have ordered some shop manuals but they are not here yet. Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys. Mike

Here is a link that I have viewed. It seems that the 70 bolt in glass is a better upgrade. When I get ready to tear into my doors, this is the route I will take. Hope this helps. http://www.cjponyparts.com/tech-door-glass/a/153/
