Fuse Identification
I have a 91 vert and need to know what fuse (on the inside fuse box, near the clutch) controls the ignition switch.
I do not have the cover to my fuse box, and All Data lists 4 different schematics, depending on god knows what...
It does (or did,) have airbags, but know ABS if that matters... (According to All Data is may or may not...
I have no power coming into the car, but if I run a jumper wire from the battery to the ignition switch everything is fine, and I can not find any blown fuses.
Thanks.

I think it is in the wiring, but I'm trying to track down where...
The switch is good, i know that for sure.
I'm getting lost running from the switch to the fuse box, simply because I'm a fat guy and squeezing down under the dash to trace wires is not that easy...
Let me ask a different question then, I know that black/red off the starter for the ignition, but what color is the main power, coming into the car from the engine compartment main fuse? Is it black/blue?

You have things *** backwards. The interior fuse box is FED BY the ignition switch with the exception of the BATT buss on that fuse box.
You turn the key to ON and the switch FEEDS the interior fuse box with the exception of the batt buss.
The ignition switch is fed by a pure black wire that comes from the engine bay fuse box and MAIN fuse located there. There is a single connector below and inbd of the engine bay fuse box that does this feeding IF the MAIN FUSE is good.
On your ignition switch connectors, it's the two wire connector with pure black wire and a black/white wire that your interested in. Its the pure black one that feeds power to and thru the ignition switch. Check for pwr on that black wire. No key needed. It should be there 24/7.
I'd check the MAIN FUSE in the engine bay first. If the fuse is good, then check the BLACK connector shown in the second jpg attached.
