Check the ignition switch itself, not the lock. It's the Yellow thing. Mine broke and I could get it to work (for a while) by unscrewing it and turning it counter clockwise. Sorry if I'm not much help.

You've lost the power to the ignition switch. It comes from a single black spade connector located about a half foot below the engine fuse box. See if that plug came apart.

If it is connected, then go to your ignition switch. See how the elect leads of the switch go from the switch to below and forward of the switch??? Look for a connector on those wires that has one black/white wire and one pure black wire. The pure black wire is the power for the switch coming from the engine fuse box connector I just mentioned. See if that pure black wire has batt voltage on it.

I'm not sure if the ECU would still get power, but it could be a blown Main fuse.

It sucks your got burned, but keep it in GG/BG.

To the OP, trust Hailers, as he is an electrical genius on these cars. I had a similar issue on my car and he walked me through it.
