Update
The car is parked outside and it's been really rainy the past few days, so I spent the time replacing the wires in the B harness. I finally got the chance to install the new harness tonight, but still nothing happening with the starter.
Here's where I'm at now. I tried the jumper trick on the alarm relay thinking that could be the problem, but no luck there. I've tried starting the car in neutral concerned that the neutral switch in the transmission was bad, but no luck there either. However, it could be a problem since I have no reverse lights with the key on and the transmission in reverse. I do not have brake lights either, but the other tail-lights are working fine.
I'm not getting any voltage on the white/violet wire that goes to the starter solenoid when the key is turned to the start position, so the problem is obviously upstream of that point. I know the car had a problem that caused it to run and not shut off with the key the last time it ran, so I'm wondering if in the electrical meltdown that ensued if it ruined the contacts inside the ignition switch. I searched some, but didn't find a good thread on testing the switch. If anyone knows of one please let send a link.
Thanks,
Dean
