i believe i found the culprit after clearing my head i ran a ground from battery and tested motor side of large connector black/yellow to see if it would kill, it did so i tested killing the motor on the switch side of large connector and no kill, i believe the black/yellow wire is not connecting within the large connector, would you all agree?

It definitely would not be the first time that has happened, that’s for sure. Used to see that, a lot! Be careful like Jerry says. There’s usually around a couple of hundred volts on that wire when it’s running or even when the engine has been stopped without using the key…..

Long live American manufacturing!
