I just went out to start my '79 240D and the following occurred:
-turned key to glow position, and glow light came on as well as radio.
-turned key to start and nothing happened, not even one crank.
-no lights, no power to anything.

-I drove the car 70 miles earlier today with no problems. Made a 1/2 hour stop on the way home, and the car started right up which makes me rule out the alternator.
-The clock was working until I turned the key.
-All fuses look good.
-If it was the ignition switch, wouldn't I still have headlights and clock working?

Thanks for any input,
