Randall,
I did just as you said and pin punched the rivets from the inside. This now
gave me continuity through the park plate. I then hooked power up with hot
going in terminal #1 and negative to terminal #3 (the body). I got a big
spark and then nothing. I checked the continuity again through the rivets and
I lost it. I took everything apart again, repunched the rivets and put it
back together. This time I hooked hot to terminal #2 and negative to #3.
Worked like a charm. Motor turned for about two seconds then parked.
