Wont Start With The Key But Can Jump Starter

[nitrouzaddict]

Hey everyone. I have an 88 Camaro, I cannot start it by turning the key over but I can use a screwdriver to jump the starter, and it will start that way. So I am obviously thinking bad ignition switch, so I changed that, but I still have the same problem. Is there some kind of fusable link I don't know about they may have been blown? Thanks in advance!

did u check all ur fuses yet?

might be a break in the s=terminal, purple wire that feeds ignition power to the solenoid. with the key in run you need to see if you have 12v on the wire.

I checked all the fuses inside the car already, my ACC fuse was blown but that has already been changed. Are there any larger fuses underneath the hood that power the ignition? I will check the Purple wire tomorrow and see if I have voltage on it, thanks for your help so far!

there is the main fuse box under the hood also, pop the cap off the box and take a look.
