Electronic Ignition Switch

I've got a 2005 convertible with a standard transmission. Has anyone had a problem with their electronic ignition switch? I've got plenty of juice in my battery, but I push my switch and nothing happens. The lights and sounds associated with the accessory and start mode work, but the car will not start.

Thoughts or suggestions?

It's much easier with the car raised and a helper with a reliable meter to run these checks. Good luck.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll post an update after I get further along.

$200+, including tow. Some reprogramming of a module. Theft deterrent error of some sort.
