I bought a 1990 mazda b2200, it was a fix up turck. the guy i bought it from said that everything was fine only thing that needed to be done was replace the ignition switch, well we replaced it and checked all the fuses to the truck, everything was fine. Then we attempted to turn over the engine and nothing
Before you pull the starter and have it bench tested put a 12v tester light on the starter leads, I am betting on the starter solenoid

A common plroblem on the 2.0 engine cars is the distributer, try changing that, if that doesnt work their is a sensor in the block right behind the oil filter than can cause the no start issue, but its not as common

If you mean actually replacing the ignition switch on the vehicle with a locking column. You need to do this. Dicconnect the battery, remove the lower panel of the dash if there is any. There is a bolt on the steering column near the fire wall on most vehicles, remove this bolt, it will release the spline on the steering column. Disconnect all wiring going to the column, unbolt the column from the dash support. Remove the column from the truck, on the ignition switch you will see where the two shear bolts screw the assembly together, center punch the center of each bolt. Now drill the bolt with a 1/8" drill about 1/4" to 3/8" deep. Now use a 3/8" drill and drill out the shear head until it comes off the bolt. You can now remove the switch assembly from the column. The new assembly should come with new shear off bolts so when you bolt it in place when tightned they will break off rendering it tamperproof again. Most vehicles are designed like this now to stop theft. Check the column for operation before reinstalling it in the reverse of above. You just want to make sure the key locks and unlocks the column before reinstalling in the vehicle. You may want to do this before you totally tighten the bolts and break them off permanently. Good luck, RAC

Hi,I would check the fusible links at the battery positive terminal.They look like normal wires but can burn out and leave the insulation intact.Try to stretch them,you will find the dead one.

Yes, bad ignition switch can cause that, did on my B2200.
