AD. I'm not second guessing you. I am very grateful for all the time and help. I did not want to annoy you with the business about the ATA and the driver's side door. Just thought it couldn't hurt to provide the info. I'm a bit daunted by pulling the instrument cluster, but I did order the special hooks from fast lane yesterday. I will put in a new battery today (though I'm not hopeful since I hooked up my big boat battery with 850cca and no start).
As soon as I get the tools I will pull the cluster. Is there any point in testing the ig switch while I wait for the tool? Thanks again sincerely.
