car wont start at all 200 1984

i took a look at how all the wires are hooked up by pulling off the centre bit just above the gear shift. ( i am in the process of seeing how freeking difficult installing a new stereo is) The car wont start at all. I turn the key and absolutely nothing happens? i think i may have knocked the ignition wires loose or something? how easy is this to fix?
(ps i did have the car in park so it isnt that)

Try to crank the car in neutral. You may have a neutral safety switch that has gone bad. If it cranks in neutral but not in park, its the switch. Also check the gear selector. there is a pin on the side of the gear selector that guides the contactor for the neutral safety switch, this may have come out of the contactor. Its happened to me. I found the contactor had been pushed all the way forward, past the park position.

I don't think there's much to suggest. Seems you have disconnected a wire to the ignition switch. Or blown a fuse?
