Did you buy it as a non runner?

Do suffer from ignition switch failures, have you checked power at back of switch?

So after couple of days struggling head scratching tested everything replacing all sorts I finally found the issue
I bought the car as a repo and the insurance fitted a tracking system that they can kill the car’s ignition system which is what they had done sold me the car and never turned the system of removed the box and now fires in the key
