Small problem...

Car starts fine when I short the starter, but when I go to start it on the key I get nothing. Dash lights all work, it just won't turn over.
Ideas?

Fuse, or fusable link?
Slip on wire fell off or loose on starter motor?

Fuses are fine, starter wiring is attached/secure.
NFI on fusible links, as I'm not sure which one's which. They all look fine though?

It's pretty weird, as it was working fine a couple weeks ago :\

dodgy ignition switch, wire unsoldered itself from back of ignition switch, dodgy inhibitor switch (if auto).

Inhibitor switch
:facepalm:
Forgot that was still in there :lol:

That could well be the issue, as I use it as a killswitch. It's kinda a necessity when you've had three driver's windows snapped off so the local kids can steal your smokes/try and steal the car :facepalm:

Cheers guys, carry on :$
