you got a couple wires cross up.
Power should be on before you bump the key.
Im no sparky though.

Again, I dont do any kind of wiring but I wouldn't bypass it.
They aren't that much money, not enough to risk frying something else.
Hopefully someone with some kind of electrical know how can figure it out but the that's my .02 ....

i just down loaded a schematic of the wire block and thats wat they called...its the reset switch that controls over load to the wiring block...its a electronic ignition.

Post by: el mojado on July 13, 2014, 08:59:00 AM: ^ that sounds like a circuit breaker....you should have power to ignition (coil) during START (SOL) AND RUN (IGN) from ignition switch

Yes, so it is a circuit breaker so i need a new one, i have some wires fracked up because im not getting juice to IGN RUN side, only getting juice in START pos...When i turn key to RUN or AUX pos, i should see gauges jump. :banghead:
