If the wiring harness has a disconnect at the firewall as the
later Imperials do, I'm betting this is where the problem is.

I know this may be way too simplistic, but have you bent your
neck out of shape and checked the fusebox? Mine was chock full of rusty crud
and all dash lights and rear lighting was inop - a thorough cleaning and a
douse of WD40 solved that handily!

IML: Failed ign switch in 67?

It's
time to put the top down and the sunblock on! One problem.... the car won't
start. The '67 Imperial was not driven at all between Christmas and
March. It was driven twice earlier this month, both times without incident and
starting the car was uneventful. I attempted to start the car today (79
degrees, light clouds, blue sky), but it would have none of it. The
windows, horn, seats, etc all work as they should... but they are wired to do
so without the key in the ignition. The battery is charged. The
starter is new. Plugs and wires are good. None of the items on the car that
should work with the key on do so. No wipers, instruments, no warning
indicator lights on the dash light up at all, and more importantly, no starter
engaging. Nothing happens if I move the key to any of the "on"
positions. It appears that anything wired through the keyed ignition is
not getting power. Not a whimper out of the starter if I fully turn the
key (and connection is soli d). I suspect the ignition in the dash
itself, but perhaps it's some
thing else along the way. Any
suggestions as to where to look and what else to suspect. Any
solutions? All slathered in sunblock and no place to
go.
Recommendations as to where to buy a new ignition switch?
Napa? An Imperial only part?
