Default No crank no click no fuel pump no start LT1

Hi guys, my winter beater LT1 will not do anything if I get in and turn the key. The fuel pump doesn't turn on, it doesn't click when I turn the key... nothing. Battery reads OK on the gauge cluster and I do have power (lights etc) but it does absolutely nothing when I turn the key.

Oh, no security light either...

Sounds like something is wrong with the starter itself, or its connections...

Starter, ignition switch (i'd consider this especially if you're not hearing any relay movement while trying to start).

Also check your ground wires. Don't forget the one on the motor mount on the pass. side, and make sure the ones by the power steering res. are good and clean.

Do you have one of those "resistor, thing-a-ma-bobs" on your ignition key? Maybe it's dirty, and not making good contact with the ignition switch.

If you leave the headlights on and try to start it, do the lights go dim?
