I wish I could help with your problem, but my knowledge of the circuitry is too rudimentary. Perhaps a connection came undone in some way while you had the stuff apart?

But, I hope the above might help me. I have related earlier intermittent starting problem, primarily when it rains. I am in the process of tracing out wires and trying to clean up and tighten connections. But, a faulty ignition switch could contribute to starting problems even if they are intermittent. So, can you explain the test cited above, please. Thanks, David McNeely
