ok so I took it all apart today and here is what I have found I have power to the key switch from battery..no indicator lights on dash and nothing coming out of the switch..when I do a continuity test on switch it shows two posts tied at 1st position and one tied at second or run position..when testing with connector hooked to switch I get no 12v across these 2 terminals..so its is either shorting out or there is a problem elsewhere I looked up the wiring dia as joe suggested and have to admit im not much on reading them and mine has a cpl wires in the key switch connector that the diagram doesn't show..i also have a little square box that says bosch on the side of it that I don't recognize in the schematics... will be glad to email more specifics if anyone wants to try to help with this..im at [email protected] for everyones advice and help
