The switch checks out fine based on the tests in FSM. ie: Everything that should have continuity does in the right places when keyed (as far as I can tell...):

Key Position: What has Continuity:
ACC:
-Battery(red) & Accessory

OFF:
-None.

RUN:
-Battery(red) & Accessory
-Battery(red) & Ignition
-Accessory & Ignition
-Battery(pink) & Run Accessory

START:
-Battery(red) & Ignition
-Battery(red) & Starter
-Ignition & Starter


Do any of these sound wrong to anyone?

Any idea where the fusible links are under the hood?

Thanks!!

Over the drivers fender you will find a torpedo connecter in the main power line. Just after that the main wire splits into all of the fusible links.

Fixed.

All the fusible links were good, but I noticed that they all came back together into one wire that went directly to the + size of the battery. That wire had a single connector in it right next to that, when pulled apart, turned out to be really corroded. Cleaned that up and she started right up.

My only guess as to what was happening is that I was getting 12v @ the ignition switch, but it somehow wasn't enough (or enough amps) or something to jump the relays when the switch was turned to power anything...
