'91 Legacy T Won't Start

[Matt Reese]

Hello,

My '91 Legacy T won't start. I purchased the car very cheap because it
could not be started. The battery has been replaced. When the key is
inserted into the ignition there is no reponse from the starter,
heater motor, radio, headlights, dash lights, locks windows etc... No
clicks or fuel pump or any relays. The car did have an alarm at one
point but it has been removed.

Here's what I know is working:

Interior Lights Work (the ones by the sunroof controls)
Door ajar display on dash
Chimes when key is in ignition
Horn
Hazard lights
Interior Fuse box Light

What I have Tested:

Main Fuse and Interior fuse box fuses are good (tested) and 12 volts

I manually jumped starter at the starter itself and there is power -
it will crank

There is power in the large wire feeding the Interior fuse box but the
critical fuses do not have power.

The ignition switch registeres no power in any position.

Advice anyone! Thanks!

Fusible link somewhere in ignition system.

Hey Thanks for the reply,

I have seen the fuseable link in the Main Fuse box. Where are some
other ones to check.

Thanks,

Matt
