NEED electrical HELP!!!!

[Spoolin_Turbo]

my car will work great sometims, other times it will not
my issue is that when i turn the key nothing happens, i can still do things i could with the key out like turn my lights on or off the auto seat belt all that jazz still works but stuff that you need the key on for, wont work like radio, windows, you know DRIVING ;) so i have been getting stranded do to this happening so i dont really know

[Spoolin_Turbo]

Anyone got any ideas

[viridionplague]

grounds, fuses, or relays. does it click when you try to start it?

[Spoolin_Turbo]

No its as if i hadent even turned the key, i checked grounds are good and now im stuck by the side of the road it just shut off on me well i was driving

[viridionplague]

if it sits outside in the sun i would bet its the start relay behind the radio. check the starter harness plug as well, i know ive forgotten that one a few times thinking all it needed was the power cable to the starter and the ground.

Its most likely a bad ignition switch

i dont know what relay you are talking about, and were is this starter harness plug?

[goodhart]

^My guess would be the plug for the starter on the engine harness. Located by the starter. LOL

[viridionplague]

the relay looks something like this. It is behind the radio.

the 1g has its own mini harness for the starter that holds the ground wire, power wire, and electrical connections to the starter. It plugs into the main harness right around the stock battery area.

If the car shut off while you were driving, it has nothing to do with the starter.

After it shut off on you, you turn the key and nothing happens, no dash lights or anything? Sounds like a bad ignition switch for sure.
