'92 Jetta ECOdiesel-turn the key,nothing happens!

I have a '92 Jetta ECOdiesel and the engine will not crank using the key.If I turn the key 'on',and then hot wire the starter,it starts right up. I thought to myself:AH HA!! IT"S THE IGNITION SWITCH! I went to the local FLAPS and bought the correct ignition switch for the car.I pull the harness off of the old switch,install the new switch and other than the idiot lights coming on,*nothing happens*when I turn the switch on completely My question to the group is: Is there a relay,or a fuse that controls the key function to start the car? I'm hoping that I don't have some sort of f**ked up electrical problem that will force me to improvise some half assed solution to get going again.Any advice would be very greatly appreciated! Thanks!

does it have the seat belts which buckle onto the door? If so maybe the wires are broken.
