alright, key turns no crank no start.
when key is turned, dash board lights up, diagnostics can be accessed.
where I did the bypass is still intact.

the problem first showed up as follows:
put the key in the lock, sometimes it will turn and start the car and sometimes it wont.

the other incident, with the engine running the key was stuck in the ignition and I was not able to swith off the engine and remove the key by the normal method.

I sprayed some lube in the keyway and forced the key to the OFF position using a pair of pliers. Then removed the key.

after that it worked for a couple days, then I went to the store, switched off removed key and went about my business. When it was time to leave the car refused to start. Turn key and nothing.
