I've replaced the key ignitions switch three times in the past six months. I've traced the wiring and it all seems to be going to the correct places and is in good shape, not cuts or bare to ground. When I pull the old switch, it will seem to pass the on/off test with the multimeter, and it ohms out on and off. It failed again today, and I replaced it with a toggle switch. No time to make an order for parts... It fired up and I was able to move it out of the way and to the normal parking spot. After shutting down, I tried to restart it. Nothing... At least I got it out of the machine shed doorway, it had everything blocked...
With both parts, key switch and toggle switch, I have voltage through the bus bar and the hot side of the switch, when the switch is in the off position. When I turn the switch on, no voltage at either location. Thinking its shorted out again... Any ideas? I have a new starter solenoid I can install, but I don't think that's it, and the gnats are active...
