I wish I could help with your problem, but my knowledge of the circuitry is too rudimentary.  Perhaps a connection came undone in some way while you had the stuff apart?

But, I hope the above might help me.  I have related earlier intermittent starting problem, primarily when it rains.  I am in the process of tracing out wires and trying to clean up and tighten connections.  But, a faulty ignition switch could contribute to starting problems even if they are intermittent.  So, can you explain the test cited above, please.  Thanks,
