Car wont start unless door is open

What have you done for measurements at the ignition system connections?

i believe that when they key is in the run position(should be idling) there is no spark. When I crank I get good spark from the coil. However I’m not sure if this means the problem is past the coil further down the line, or if the coil isn’t sending sparks to dist. When it should be idling. I followed the positive and negative terminals of the coil and the negative goes into the control module. The positive goes into the ballast. I replaced the ballast with a new one a week ago. And replaced the ignition module a few months back. I am aware that new doesn’t always mean good, however we get good measurements with both of those.

also doesn’t make sense how the problem reversed itself. Went from no spark while cranking but one spark on shutdown, to good spark while cranking, and none when key is spring back from starter.

When we were testing with the steering column, the left side of the car had lights on. Like run light and tail light. I know that’s not too specific but it makes me wonder if the guy before me got two wires from seperate circuits and swapped them accidentally.

I think it’s possible that the key switch still has loose contacts inside or something like that.
