I unfortunately stopped right there. The cold and rain started and my ambition went out the door. The solenoid is still sitting on my desk. But it is getting warmer and little dryer so it about time to get started again.
I'm going to replace the ignition switch too. In the end I'll probably will never know what fixed the problem between the ignition switch, ignition solenoid, battery disconnect and fuses. But I hope one of these will fix the problem. Luckily they were all fairly inexpensive.
