Yep, that's what I get when I turn the key... no clunking solonoid or
clicking relay (just the steady tick of the fuel pump).

I just drove 50 miles home from the racetrack (spectator this time) and
she ran beautifully 70mph and in traffic.  The only out-of-the-ordinary
thing I did to her was lock everything up when a woman in a snazzy
newFord decided at the last minute that she wanted MY spot at the front
at the lights insteading sitting behind the person in her lane - very
suddenly and without indicating.  The lights had just changed to red and
I was braking moderately heavily but safely to a stop.

Funny how well you judge your braking distance, isn't it.  Then even
funnier when someone decides to take about 20 feet out of that distance...

grrr 

BUT I DIGRESS...

So once incidence of heavy braking and sliding.  Nothing else.  What did
I shake loose.

I get home... get out to open the garage door.. get back in the car and
she stalls.

Turn the key... SILENCE.

I have used a hammer on everything in sight and fiddled with every wire
I could find (and every fuse).

The headlights are bright, indicators work, fuel pumps ticks, etc.

Come on guys, point me in the right direction.  It is cold and I am
tired and want this fixed tonight (it is almost 7pm here now)..

Help.
