> Well I found the problem, at least the basic one.   I have to thank Neil for his tip.    I removed the glove box and I heard the clicking.    It turned out to be a black box hanging behind the cruise control canister.   It was written on it "Valet 711T" and I believe it to be an aftermarket power lock controller.   I unplugged it and I immediately had the engine starter to work with the key.
