Default Won't start - limp home mode

Hello, I have a '94 850T wagon -- which I have had the 'limp home' mode happening. Well, I thought from a previous post, and other research, that the problem could be the solenoids. I was set to take it by my brother to do that, and it won't start (which has happened before, only briefly). What happens is that I have power to the starter, the lights, radio, etc -- only the idiot lights are dark, the info center is off, but it could crank forever. Could this be the same problem? I have the flashing arrow on the dash (when driving, etc.) Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

First make sure all connections under the hood are clean and tight.Starter,Alternator,Battery.
Then you might want to check the electrical part of the ignition switch.

Ok, I'll double check all the connections.
