Battery is good, when I turn the key gauges moves and there is an electrical hum like sound, no click, no sound. Ignition switch has a lot of play in it along with the floor shifter. I played around with the shifter - no change. Where do I begin?
Not sure what kind of car you have, but if it is an older Charger, check the ballast resistor on the firewall. That is a pretty common failure on the older Mopars.

I thought that ballast resistor was only in the circuit when the engine was running, not during start :shruggy: Anyway, I always check the battery and the battery terminals as a first step. A weak battery can send you off on the strangest hunts!!
Then start checking the grounds from engine to chassis and the battery ground.
My 72 has a ground terminal on the starter relay that used to come off once in awhile . When it did , no click but power everywhere else.

Replace the ignition switch and fix the play in the shifter linkage. Check the neutral safety switch.
Its a 70 charger RT. Your right first fix the slop in the tranny and the ignition switch.
