If everything else seems fine check the switch! Just think of how many times that switch has turned off and on that engine! Good luck!

Thanks bwheitman

I did used this kind of monitoring for 12Vsignal after Fuel pump relay (it was OK).

Could you tell on which socket of the coil the lamp has to be connected?

How to check the ignition switch while driving?
