starting problem please help

I go to start my car after work tonight I insert the key turn it to start put fuel cutoff switch on and it does not start. I try this for a while knowing its not the battery b/c it is turning over fine and the battery guage is at 12v. The tack is not moving though. After a while of playing with wires under dash car starts like a champ and I go home. I have no idea of why it happened or why it started any ideas please. NEED TO KNOW TO GO TO WORK IN MORNING.

sounds like you have bad connections under the dash (probably related to your aftermarket kill switch wiring)

Read the FAQ for FC at the top of this section.

There you would have found that you probably have a burnt Light switch or light switch harness if your dimmer is all the way up.
