OH

hey MY car won't start now for some reason? I mean none of the fuses are blown, starter don't even turn now, I check the fuse-able links too. Nothing is blow please help. I put an after market window switch in it, and put everything back together then nothing now?

Only thing I can think of it could be is the ignition switch and if so I do not know where I can get one any help please? ...... the guy that i bought is from put a screw in the ignition switch with a screw that held the steering column cover up would that be it the ignition switch then
please and thank you very much

Any one know if a 85 rx7 GSL ignition switch would work on a 85 RX7 GS?? Since I cant find a ignition for my GS I found one for a GSL would they be the same could I just swapp it out?

It would. However, I wouldn't go replacing parts randomly hoping that it will solve your problem. Use a multimeter and find out where you do and don't have voltage. The info you give is so piecemeal that it's hard to advise any further.
