I have a 1998 Contour GS. When I insert the key in the ignition switch, the chime no longer sounds, the engine will not start, and the lights, instruments, radio, etc., are dead. THe gearshift will not shift out of park. The emergency flashers work, and all the fuses are good. I suspect this is a bad ignition switch, since the chimes don't sound when the key is inserted. Or will the same thing happen if the ignition relay or some other component is bad?
