back story:
i haven't been driving my E30 for a few months now. i have been planning on replacing my oil filter housing gasket. i have degreased the engine and don't want to get more oil on it before i replace the gasket.
in the meantime i got a new front valance and installed it. while doing so i noticed that when i put my key in the ignition and turn it to on, nothing happens, no lights anywhere, nothing. i did this so i could turn the wheel to gain access to bolts for replacing the valance.
since its been a little while i assumed the battery was dead, no biggy. i left the key in the on position and continued to replace the valance. while doing so, i noticed some music playing. i looked inside the car and all dash lights were on and the radio was playing. as everything should do.
clearly the battery isn't dead. my only thought is the ignition switch is going bad. is this a good assumption?
