Hi Jim, thank you for your answer! I went through the testing of each fuse. Finally got to the two fuses that are screwed down in the fuse block under the hood. There is a 60A and 100A fuse that is for the ignition. Pulling the 100A fuse caused the test light to go out. Appears there is a short in the ignition system. I will need to start following the wires to see if I can find a short. Unless you have some quick tips for me? Nonetheless thank you for the answer it helped narrow down the problem. -Gary
