sorry you lost me, I have the WP , new ignition switch and new ignition wires installed. The phantom starting and powering up was with the EHC, not happening now. I get 12v going and coming from ignition module with the ignition in position 2(starting). The ignition module light does not come on or flicker at all even when the engine is cranking...
I installed a new switch ~ Ah, what was the last job you did before this all occurred? I changed the switch but now I take one wire off, I said I take the one wire off: I think it's hot with everything off. So, what happens you take all the wires off the switch? Oh, I think I have the other wires crossed if I only took the one wire off thinking it is the hot wire. But still everything is turned off like not being on the hot side with key off. Now it does not even flicker because I think the wire is on the wrong prong?
Think you might use an ohm meter and see which direction things move in that switch, or swap my wires now and see what happens? No. I think the ohm meter needs to be the fuse, by showing you who is flowing where? You mean there might be so much resistance thru ground, I won't blow a fuse or heat up the wires, but I can run a stop light off my oil bag kind of parasitic draw?
That's WATTit sounds like to me? Turn the lights off in the garage. Make sure there is no gas smell coming off the battery or shield it from the vent. Remove either battery strap off the battery. If there is a huge arc, might be something there. If it's a tiny blip of a spark, it may be normal memory voltage needed for the clock anchit. A melting arc at the lead post is yeah, a parasite big time.
