i have an 88 lx that was recently broken into, the amature thieves destroyed all the lock cylinders and the ignition switch, they couldnt getit started. after finding this night mare i grabbed a screw driver and started the car. the next day i tried to start it and the car wouldnt even crank, the cluster wasnt turning on, the door chime wasnt goin off, the lights wernt working, nothing was working, i checked the battery, its ok, i bypassed the started solenoid its ok, i cant seem to hear the pump runing. could this be a ecm issue or something really simple.i would greatly appreciate any feedback on this issue.

Check teh fuses in the engine bay and under the dash. You should have dash lights even if the ecm was toast. Might be your ignition switch if the fuses are ok.

It is definately your ignition. Everything worked fine until it was destroyed by the break in, right?
