99 monaco Windsor, where do I begin, batteries are good, I can start it by jumping across the solenoid but have no idea where to begin on the trans key pad issue? Help

I had a similar problem last summer.

The problem was the ignition solenoid (not the starter solenoid).

The solution was to establish a new ground connection for that solenoid.

Once the solenoid ground was established, the fuses for the chassis lit up with the ignition switch as did the Transmission pad.

All was good, and now I also have a spare, new ignition solenoid.:R
