Ryan,


Sorry to hear about you getting stranded. From what you've described, you seem to be getting power to the ignition switch. My guess is you have an open between the ignition switch and starter solenoid. If you can, carefully touch the terminal on the starter solenoid with the blue/yellow wire to positive with the ignition key on. Hopefully it should start. If there is a problem with the ignition switch, neutral safety switch or the wiring, this will temporarily bypass them. A volt ohm meter would be a helpful tool in diagnosing the open connection.


Regards, Jon 'Uncle Olaf'
