Dan, thanks for this. I have all the other comments, and will pursue the ignition switch, the solenoid, and ghosts and goblins. But, it was raining like a cow peein' on a flat rock yesterday. Today is bright and sunny, typical low humidity winter type day. I definitely will look to the spade connector and see if it shows evidence of being a bit corroded. mcneely
