Dave,
������� Get a test light and another person, disconnect the small wire and put one end of the test light in the spade connector and ground the other end. Get the other person to turn the key to the start position to see if the light comes on. If it does then the solenoid is stuffed, if it doesn`t then you may have a buggered ignition switch.

Try wiggling/turning the key a little past the start position and see if that does anything.

Also check the earth cable from the battery to the engine/chassis for corrosion/bad connection.

The battery connections tight and clean?

Good luck,

Dave,
��� Check to see if the start wire has come off the starter motor. It will be a thin wire that is connected to a flat terminal.

Subject: electric problem
having a bit of a problem with�my new daily driver...120Y Panel Van
when I went to start it�this morning I turned the key to acessories, all the dash lights came on, then when I turned the key to start the motor there was nothing, no noise or anything but all the dash lights went out till I released the key.
I figured flat battery.� the battery has this little coloured light on it that is supposed to tell you how charged it is. The light was bright green indicating 100% charge, but I thought what the hell I'll put it on charge for a few hours anyway. charged it for about 4 hours, battery still indicating 100% charge I threw it back in.� Same thing, nothing happens just lights go out till I release the key. I roll started it down the driveway and went for a cruise...while I was sitting at a set of lights I noticed the face on the cd player going really dim, then when I gave it a rev it lit up bright again. So I figured maybe the alternator. with the car running I took the battery leads off and it kept running...so the alternators charging.
�
any ideas guys?

Dave
