The original circuit is fed directly from the ignition switch to the fuse DIC/HVAC fuse. It is located in the fuse panel to the right of the glove box.
Did you follow the diagnostic check to see if there was 12V at the fuse block? If you have constant 12V there, the problem is not caused by the ignition switch.
If you have 12V at the fuse block and the fuse is not blown, you'll be looking for an open 12V feed from the fuse block.
