Thanks for all the information. I may have an ignition switch problem. The connector from the ignition switch harness to the main harness is warm and the amp gauge shows a current draw.
look the column to harness connector over carefully. this is a known problem area, and i have repaired this connector many times over the years.
most times the ignition switch itself is ok. the connector terminals get out of shape or fit poorly together, causing resistance, then heat, resulting in a bad connection at best and a melted connector at worse.
