2004 619VS. I have power to the keypad, motor cranks but won't start. No beep when I put code in and press start once, don't hear the fuel pump kick on and gauges don't power on except analog clock. No fuel or oil, battery or water pressure reading, Smartcraft gauge doesn't come on. All other keypad switches work, bilges, aerators, horn. Is this telltale sign of bad keypad?

Fuse on motor popped or kill switch pulled

Sounds like the kill switch

Took her in to mechanic, I couldn't get anywhere myself. Keypad bad, no ignition power (purple wire) coming out of pad. Had checked fuses at motor. And ruled out kill switch based on no beep from pad and gauges not getting power - kill switch doesn't prevent ignition circuit from coming on, just won't let it start. Thanks for the thoughts though!
