no juice getting to coil
i'm not getting 12v to the two wires going to the coil. i checked all my fuses. in the repair manual it says that there is a "courtesy panel" which i THINK has more fuses. where is it? any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Use a voltmeter to probe the primary of the coil when the key is in the RUN position.
Is there power?
If no, there is a bad or burned out connection between it and the ignition switch, or power to the switch.

There is no fuse in the suspect circuit however you should know where the fuse block is for future problems.
The Fuse Block is located up and to the left of the brake pedal, behind a small door.

No, the primary is one of the wires coming out of the coil (usually red) and goes into the area that is terminated on the other side with a connector.
