Dan, thanks for this.  I have all the other comments, and will pursue the ignition switch, the solenoid, and ghosts and goblins.  But, it was raining like a cow peein' on a flat rock yesterday.  Today is bright and sunny, typical low humidity winter type day.  I definitely will look to the spade connector and see if it shows evidence of being a bit corroded.  mcneely
