Start with a circuit diagram for the ignition switch. Make sure that the wires that are supposed to be energized when the switch is on are indeed being energized. Start at the back of the ignition switch and move forward, component by component, following the wiring diagram. Eventually you'll find the place where power is going in, but not coming out. That's how you perform electrical diagnosis.

Good stuff alfadoc.
Zarbuck,
You might want to buy a NOID light to test the signal to the injectors.

To add to alfadoc, here is a simplified sequence of events to start a car.
Remember also that when cranking, the tach needle has to jump 1/16th inch to send a signal to the DME.
