I have a problem that's driving me crazy. Recently I had to play with the alarm in order to get the auto to start or even crank for that matter. I have disconnected the alarm altogether. I also have replaced the starter. Now my problem is still there. In order for me to get the auto to crank or start I have to jump the ignition from underneath the column or else I get absolutely nothing. I don't even get the idiot lights to come on, no headlights, horn, radio, nothing with the key in the on position. When I do get the auto to start by jumping the wires, I've noticed that I have to goose the engine a few times in order to get the gauges to work(this happened even before I changed the starter or disconnected the alarm) Can anyone tell me what to look at to solve this problem?? I'm leaning towards the ignition switch but I dont want to start changing everything if that's not the problem, I already started that by changing the starter..
