Looking at what I think is a supplement diagram for a factory option, "water cooled - digifant from 1990" shows the stereo with 4 speakers is connected to 15 via S3. Radio would be on when key at ign. on (engine running position) For digifant from 1990, the radio is connected to 30 via S3 fuse. 30 is always "on" power. This appears to be the most common means of connecting the radio for later models. If it were me, I'd check the wiring to the radio, and if that wasn't the problemo, I'd swap in a good known working ignition switch and see if that makes a difference. (a good thing to carry anyway and not expensive) I know on my '81 it's simply a matter of unplugging the connector to the ignition switch, and plugging in the new switch, then carefully turning it with an appropriately sized screwdriver.
