I'm working on a 425 magnum that will not fire unless the awd button is bounced between modes while throttle is applied. I don't understand what the awd has to do with ignition. Pushing the reverse override does nothing as does shifter position. There is no indicator bulb in the switch. The switch goes hot when the key is turned and all pins on the back of the switch show batt voltage with the awd button properly pushed in, except for the ground lead for the indicator light. The throttle safety pin switch is working. It is open unless forced to function, then goes closed. Unplugging either/or and both effect nothing. Without the awd button plugged up and slightly pushing in and out on it the engine will not fire. Battery is hot, but did try a starter box to boost voltage to 13.2 v but no response. Anyone ever seen anything like this?
