After spending 4 hours with a multi-meter and checking everything I could find at least twice, I was ready to believe that the coil wire had broken inside the harness. I started looking for another source of switched power and finding none, I decided to call it a day.

When I opened the door to turn off the ignition switch, I discovered the problem....... ME! I never turned the ignition switch past the ACC position to the RUN position when I was testing MS ECU/sensors or when I was checking for coil voltage!!!!!! For Heaven's sake........... how dumb is that? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cyclops.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/sleeping.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /><img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

I now have coil power. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> and I assume it will power MS's "switched +12v" needs. I'm really glad I have a sense of humor or things would have gone flying through the garage. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Tomorrow, I'll put it all back together.
