Here is what I would do: Disconnect the wires at the mag. Next, what make and model of mag switch are you using? At the switch if you may have a start position, when starting the right side of the switch grounds. The left side is open. You can also, check for continuity at the very end of the wires back at the mags. If all this continuity checks out your system should work.

The proof will come when I try to fire it up! I use toggle switches to turn the "mags" on and off. I Disconnected the wires from the "mags" and checked them for shorts and both are doing what they are supposed to.

I think you just answered your question... Tim, Since you are using toggle switches... Which are VERY GOOD... If a switch is installed incorrectly... Upside down, the ON becomes your OFF. There is also the possibility that the switch is manufactured incorrectly. YOU KNOW, with all this crap we get from China it is very easy for the switch to be incorrect. Just check it out on an ohm meter. Oh, I missed Rob's answer. Hmmmm, I don't see it on the list. Barry On Thursday, July 9, 2015, Tim Juhl wrote: > > > > Barry, > I think Rob answered my question.
