And you also address the other concern that I had, which is how to trace and find out where Im losing voltage. Personally, I'd save that for summer (or forget it), and run a direct wire to the coil as mentioned above. But it would be satisfying to fix, wouldn't it?

Voltage at coil, without jumper is only 2.4 volts. I dont know what i need. But I dont think thats enough. Nope. You need the full 12 volts.

Be careful if you do get poking around in that wiring with the infamous "biodegradable" insulation. You could easily cause more trouble than it's worth. Especially with an easy fix like an added wire.

Glad to hear it's running now. Made my day,

Bruce
