Jarrid, On closer inspection today, my ignition does only have 4 terminals (all numbered) but there are two connections on each terminal. With the wiring diagram, today, I decided that my TICKING short is most likely coming from the turn signal. That will be this weeks tracking job. I'm not much of an electrican but it makes sense to me. When I got it started today the ticking stopped but when I turned it off, the ticking resumed. Question on the heater switch, on the series 1 the switch is the push pull of the control knob. My wire was connected to the switch with some kind of plastic connection (which is broken) If anyone could make a diagram of it and email if to me I would be greatful.
