Hmmm, that is kinda what I was thinking too. The main hot wire that goes under the dash is attached to that wire which is why I thought I would ask. I didn't have any problems for 20 years. This happened suddenly. Now the car sits and it's driving me crazy.


I have a cheap multimeter from harbor freight, but I don't know much about finding shorted wires with it. I can't hook up the battery because the short is still present.


Electrical isn't my strong point, but I'm slowly learning. I still may pull the starter and bench test it, but It's probably a light switch or something simple like that.

Thanks!
