Default ignition switch?

So everything works just won't start. I am getting fuel and spark. All my lights work and my power windows and locks. Headlights and break lights are good. But makes no noise when i turn the key and the radio won't turn on. Good battery alternator and started

Could be. You know the rod that goes into the ignition switch? On top of the steering column... Try reaching under there and wiggle the rod trying to push it further towards the engine that way it can engage it all the way.

So when I turn the key on my fuel pump isn't turning on. I had it replaced not to long ago so it should be good. So I ain't getting fuel now. What should be my check list

Second relay back is the fuel pump relay.

Check and clean it's connections at the receptacle and it's terminals and/or swap it with another of the relays there.
