leave well enough alone.   Hjim

 

Did you try turning lights on/ignition off and testing for juice from coil
primary wire? If you have juice, for a double-check, disconnect primary wire
from the ignition switch and try again.

 

If that's true my point about the fried harness still stands.

 

Just guessing here, but if the notorious red license plate wire was
incorrectly hooked up and let the smoke out, that could have fried other
wires inside the harness.
