Car wont start unless door is open

Actually alot of clues.


The way to check this is begin at one point and follow it though.

Can you read a wiring diagram?
A lot of people can't, so that's why I ask.
It's like reading a road map, but not everyone was great with them either, and nowadays even less familair to many.

Yes. I have spent quite awhile looking and reading the diagrams for this car. So far we have notified and or fixed many shorts throughout the car. When the car used to idle, timing was good and it drove with no problems. Back then, our problem was getting it to start, but when it did start, it ran good. Now with how there isnt any spark when key in run position could only be a few things. So far i have spent a long time trying to figure out different possibilites, but nothing major has come up.

The most interesting thing to me is that when i tore into the steering column to check for loose wires and or shorts, i had to move the ignition switch around. I think this may have jiggled the contacts in there.

Essentially what im saying is that this switch is looking like the common factor for the problem.

New one is on the way.
