For whatever reason, something has had a drastic overload and taken out a power supply route.
PULL on ALL of the fusible links, even if the insulation looks good.
If they stretch, they need replaced.
Check the ignition switch with another one, just remove the lower half of the upper cover, unplug yours, plug in the substitute and see if it works, if it doesn't you saved yourself the hassle of removing the old one.
Undo the firewall harnees plug, look for seared contacts.
Not shutting off or re-starting points me to the ignition switch.
Edit:
Just realized you're working with a '90, which has the ignition switch located on the lower end of the column.
Check for linkage issues and obvious melting of the plastic contact block.
Substitution of a known good switch is still suggested.
