Default Electrical problem... need help!

I went to pick up the Vette from the body shop today, and it won't start. If the key is in accessory, the stereo turns on... if I turn the key to run, it does not turn on. If I hit the horn, or turn on the lights in accessory, the stereo turns on.

Any suggestions on the 'simple stuff' to look at? This just started... it was fine two days ago...

Do you know if they pulled the body to paint it??? if so, there is a wiring ground or body mount that is not allowing electrical grounding.....I know of no strap from body steel birdcage to frame, just the mounting bolts....

it may be the trouble.....in as about nothing else I can think of that a body shop could cause....immediately anyway....

No, it was just a touchup of the front bumper. Is there a fuse, or regulator or something that could cause something like this?
