1990 B2200 died like ignition switch turned off.

Checked fuses but hard to see at night with flashlight and -25 C.

Is there an "ignition" fuse? Fan, radio, oil warning light don't come on,
just like ignition turned off. maybe ignition switch gave up the ghost, but
funny that it would happen when driving, not starting or turning key on.
Headlights and taillight still works as they are not part of ignition switch
circuit.

Fuel pump, probably. Does the car still crank over?

Isn't the B2200 similar to the Ford Ranger and subject to a problem with the
"computer" being exposed to too much heat because of it's position on the
firewall?
