    Bad ignition switch? Blown fuses?

    Add to your list: Possible defective starter solenoid, blown fusible link,
    bad starter relay, dirty battery cable or starter connections, bad battery
    (not likely given symptoms you described). Also, assuming the radio and
    starter could be two separate problems.

    Good point, Bob. A look at a schematic would quicky reveal if a single
    point failure could cause those two things and only those two things to
    be inop. or if there are likely two separate causes. Yeah - schematics
    and a voltmeter - that's the ticket!
