No 12V with ignition switch to on. 82 280ZX non-turbo

traced problem as far as ignition switch. Jumpered 12v to ignition switch, the results were - relays working, starter motor running ok, fuseable link ok, thermo switch wire attached ok. Ignition switch will not turn off with it jumpered to 12v.
checking continuity to ground from igniton today and ignition relay.There must be a fuse out from the ignition switch to its 12v source?
Where is the fuse?
The ignition relay may be stuck open?
Should the (-) side of the coil be grounded?

The coil wiring checks out ok from the ignition module, all connections are good.
Battery good
Battery ground good (new)
Battery hot wire good.
Ground wire from distributor good.
Ignition module is tested and good.
Wires to EIS computer good
Coil tested and good
Cap rotor good
Blue wire to minus side of coil
Black with white stripe to + side of coil
replaced 27 year old ignition switch
Service manual shows power transister on (-) side of coil. The newer coils have this built in for electronic ignitions.

If anyone has had no power to ignition switch problem - let me know.
