Question Lights, buzzer, but no start...help please.

drove it today in the wonderful norcal rain storm we had, worked fine. parked it at work, went out afterward and nothing. I didn't get the standard sash lights that pop on during ignition; the check engine starting light...no radio, no heater when in the full ON position...but when I popped the hood, the hood light came on. i checked the lights, yep, they work too, the dome light as well...but nothing. no werwerwer noise, no clackclackclack...nothing.

could it be the starter / cylinoid? or the ignition switch?

When my 91 with an automatic trans. did this it was the neutral safety switch located on the top of the trans.

i wondered that too but think it's probably related to the mess of wires that look as if they were pulled from the fuse area...near the brake pedal...eeeks.
