check your alternator sylenoid fuse i think its number 8 in your under dash fuse box, check the wires to your switch you could have a short check your grounds check the wire to your starter check your wires from your battery cable in your under hood fuse box, im pretty sure its the alternator sylenoid fuse though

the alternator solenoid valve fuse is good. cables to fuse box under hood are good too. could the failing ignition switch have fried the ecm? seems that if that had happened i wouldnt have been able to drive the car after push starting it.

i would say check your starter, did you just buy the car maybe theres a kill switch you dont know about, check all connections at your ecu
