Default S2 rs turbo lost spark

My escort rs turbo series 2 has no spark at the spark plugs. The distributor, air mass meter and ignition coil are all ok. What could it be?

I've tried the light bulb test and there is definitely power in the lt wires.

How are you testing your coil? Tried replacing the rotor arm? Distributor cap?

Check the fuse labeled heated seat.

Firstly, is there spark at the king lead?

Without knowing that it's impossible to advise.

If not then it's possible the green wire from the ignition module has a break, or it is faulty.
