Default Starting Problems 94 coupe

Went to start my car yesterday, turned the key and nothing happened!
All the regular panel lights came on as normal, everything worked, go to crank it and nothing...no click on the starter selenoid, no drain in battery power...nothing. Put it nuetral and bak in park, still nothing.
Waited more than an hour and tried starting it again, still nothing. Checked all fuses related to ignition and security and they checked out good. I'm stumped! It's almost like the security system disabled the ignition.

Do you have another key to try? Or clean the chip on the key and spray ignition switch with cleaner. Wiggle the key while trying to start can help too.
Be sure you have a good battery charge of course.....

I've been hearing a lot of people mentioning using a spare key...the one thing I haven't tried. Something to do with VATS (not sure what that means, but it sounds like it is related to the security system). I only hear about it today but will have to try the send key when I get home. Thanks!

Does your Security Light blink or stay on when you enter the car?
