With your multimeter set to 200VDC, Red probe on the green wire on the key switch, and black probe on the MAIN NEGATIVE battery post (Negative post on battery number 6, rear, driver's side battery on DS), what kind of voltage do you see?
You are THE MAN, David. I just went and checked the switch and I'm getting 49.9v on my multimeter. I'll extend the wire to the negative battery terminal tomorrow after work.
Thanks again for the help.
