Default Easy fix for predator 420 not shutting off with key after extending ignition

I ran into and issue with the predator 420 not shutting off when I first test ran the cart and had to pull the plug wire. I did a ton of google searches, wiring diagram inspections etc and kept getting people just talking about the black wires on the engine/starter and also using the yellow wire on low oil as a kill switch. Many just wired in a new kill switch. I was about to do the same when I opened up the ignition switch assembly and saw the green ground wire attached to the case from the inside from the ignition switch. I just put a new ground to that post on top of green wire terminal and it worked perfect. It appears not getting a good ground once relocated.

May seem simple to most people but I couldn't find any good forum posts on this and none saying run a new ground there. Sorry about pic quality because they are stills taken from a video I was making. I didn't take any with my phone.

If this saves anyone a little grief then I am happy to pay back to this forum a little from all the knowledge I gained here.

I know the pictures for this are awful and blurry from doing screen captures from video. Here is the quick video I did of this so anyone with this issue can see it better and get what I was trying to explain.

It was very frustrating when it wouldn't shut off.
