here an update. did as george said. with the with the starter grounded and resting on a jack stand. i turned the ignition on. sure enough everything worked fine. starter turned on when i turned the key. and disengaged when i turned off the key. everything seemed ok. so i disconnect battery cables. and mount starter to block. sure enough when i hooked up the battery cables, the starter engages. no keys in the ignition. i am starting to think i have a short. so i take out positve cable for inspection. nothing wrong that i can see. the harness looks ok as well. theres only two things different from before. the positve cable, as well as the harness wires now are going through the ram air cable tube. i also had the harness itself modified to ram air specs. m@h did this modification. its their harness. i am using a 1gauge wire for both battery cables. its a very tight fit going through that tube, but it does go through. i made sure none of the terminal wires to the starter were touching! everything semed ok until i mounted the starter back on the block. what do you guys think?
