1995 BMW 525

My 1995 bmw 525 when you turn the key will not turn on, the radio will not come on, the steering wheel will not unlock and the transmission will not unlock when the switch is in the on position. All fuses appear to be good including the fusible link on the wire underneath the seat. The battery is fully charged. The car exhibited no symptoms prior to this. The lights do not light up like the switch is in the on position when it is, oddly also the horn will not honk (I know this because I banged my head on the wheel in disgust lol)

The ignition lock assembly will require replacement. It is extensive work and might be best left to a professional BMW technician.
