You may have blown somthing.  You say you checked the fuses.
But how about the fusable links??

Disasemmble the stearing column shroud and the metal ****eld
under it.  Then check for voltage at the ignition switch.
It is also entirly possible that you burned a contact in the
ignition switch.  But it is a remote possibility, I think that
a fusible link would go first.
