Seahorse,

You should also make sure that the black ground wire at the key switch is continuous all the way back to the engine block

All the wires from the switch were cut about 6 inches back from the switch, and then reconnected with connectors, by the previous owner. The color code was maintained. Could this be a problem? Don`t know why he didn`t just pull the wires off the terminals, Nothing appears to be loose.
