It might be one over there that shouldn’t have a damn thing to do with a no spark condition - BUT - maybe it does... You’d be surprised at the number of vehicles I’ve fixed that way - and this was after being told > OH THE FUSES ARE OK ...
Unfortunately now after all the additional attempted repairs - it ain’t no telling what has taken place.
Good luck!
