Post subject:  Silence when key turned
Wednesday afternoon get in, turn the key, dash lights come on trun to start and nothing. No clicks, relays, solenoids or sounds of any kind.

Took the battery to Autozone and it tested fine. All other electrical systems seem to be functioning. Returned with battery after 20 minutes and no start, assuming this would reset the computer.

The steering wheel is not locking when transmission in P. Tried shifting through the gears, tried starting in neutral, nothing.

I am thinking maybe the ignition does not know it is in park and is getting interlocked?

Take a look at viewtopic.php?f=5&t=61233&p=678574&hilit=+brother#p678574 regarding the ignition switch actuator pin and the ignition switch.

geordi's old post on the shift sensor reads "Pull the shield off the top of the gear shifter, there are 2 small cables in there; the passenger-side one is the sensor cable, it's not electrical, it's an aircraft wire; the sensor is actually located under the steering wheel. Unhooked, problem solved permanently. I thought of a quick way to test the actuator cable without pulling anything apart on the shifter console - With the engine off and in park, pull back slightly on the shifter to apply tension, and try cranking the engine. If it doesn't go... The cable is the culprit b/c the tolerance (and how much it moves normally) isn't much. The cable is pushed toward the front of the vehicle when the selector is in park, and just shifts backwards slightly when the selector is anywhere else. All you need to do is unclip the end of the cable, and push the end into the sheath until it stops (about 1/4") and tuck it away in there. This won't affect anything else in the operation of your CRD, the shift interlock (that foot-on-brake-to-shift) idiot switch will still be there and functioning... Unless that 2-wire connector happens to "fall out" like it did on mine. Strange how that happens sometimes."
