Default Weird starting issues

This one has me beat! My wifes 1993 G9 quit running, no spark. Well to make a long story short at this point, I can get it to run with the seat up and in neutral but when I start to lower the seat, it dies and if I raise the seat back up it starts up. It's like it has a kill switch in the seat. I've wiggled the wiring harness from switch down to the harness while it's running but it runs fine. Only when I get the seat about halfway shut it dies. Any ideas?

Almost has to be involved with the wiring. Some bare metal coming in contact, wire being pinched. Or maybe broken parts inside a switch ? Shifts position when the seat base tilts?

That's what I'm thinking but the only electrical wire coming from the switch to the starter switch under the throttle. So what would moving the seat have to do with anything. Like I said, weird. Probably something simple, I'm overlooking.

How about the seat limiter cable by the gas tank? it does hang out by the ignition system wires.

OK, a neighbor came by yesterday and he got to moving the wiring harness around while I ran the gas pedal. It appears to be a wire in the harness that is possibly broken and not making contact when the harness is bent slightly. I will know more today when I strip that section.
