He’ll know where to look, never fear. Especially if you have Busdaddy to vouch for your relative sanity! Gotta be one of the things mentioned upthread, electrical. The “no click/idiot lights stay on” symptom is actually very important, and will lead him to either the solenoid (which might be part of the starter), the safety switches I mentioned, or the ignition switch.
We need to get you a Haynes manual. You might have some fun finding one. Amazon has them....
I checked with Bookman’s (Tucson, Phoenix, etc) and so far, there is no sign of a Haynes Manual for Mr. Bill.
I have put the manual in my cart at Amazon, but will wait a bit to get it.
