I checked fuse 14 and no power. So I'm back to the ignition switch. I have tested it and taken it apart and cleaned and retested and OHMS are very low 1 and 2s. definitely under 5. Had 3 and 4s prior to cleaning. May just bus out the wire from switch to fuse 14. Will do that tomorrow as it's miller time!
Thanks Guys

Did not know this
checked with key in start and there was voltage. Bad NPN . Now the question is to jump it at pnp or at the relay, until we get a new pnp

....ahhh..okay. So you understand transistors, but can't read a schematic? ........I digress.
Now that you know you have 12 volts at fuse 14, when the key is turned to start, you need make sure it is getting to the yellow wire on the TDR......when you turn the key to start.

Nope,don't know transistors either. I flew commercial Aircrafts for 35 years. I started as a mechanic and was trained on how to read schematics,just forgotten.

I was just in Ho town a few weeks ago for the final four post dinner and the Houston Art Car Parade.
The parade was unreal.
