Ryan,

   I have to agree with Rick (High Tech Coatings). 

"This sounds like the IGN section of your switch is bad or has a bad
connection."  If Rick isn't correct about it being the ign. switch,
besure to check the connectors.  There are 2 on the ign. switch.  
If too much current has been drawn, the connectors can melt, or the 
connectors can get messed up.

The wire colors on the Bricklin are:

1. LG Red      - Main power to the ign switch
2. Pr (purple) - Pwr to Fuse block for Guages,  Rear window defroster,
                 Heater & A/C fuses
3. Pk (Pink)   - To Starter circuits
4. Br (Brown)  - Accessories Power - to Fuse block buss for wipers
                 and radio.
5. 2Br         - off the 2nd connector - used for the brake indicator
                 light and the brake failure switch.
