Sorry, let me clarify my last post, according to the posted wiring diagram the two blade posts are reversed so the power I referred to on the wire was the yellow ignition wire.  The larger gauge slanted wire goes to ground for neutral safety switch.  So, I know my fault lies between the bulk head and the ignition switch (I believe), I'm going to ohm the neutral safety switch today just to make sure I'm good there, I'm also going to let it run for a little while by starting it with the remote switch and see if it just dies again.

I will jiggle wires under the dash to see if I can get a hiccup, thanks for the inputs.

The bulkhead connectors are prone to corrosion. You will want to pinpoint the problem area with testing, this way you will know that the problem is fixed once and for all. It's no fun getting stuck somewhere. :stomp:

The bulb option works well if you have a short that ends up killing battery when parked.
Disconnect battery lead and connect bulb between battery and disconnected lead. If bulb lights there is a short. Remove one fuse at a time until bulb goes out. Then reinstall fuse and further narrow down by disconnecting individual wires.


Removing the warning labels one at a time.
Nature will take care of the rest.
