This is definately the place skadel. Everyone is helpful and they won't make fun of a "stupid question" as there aren't any. Even though I'm not a mechanic, with all this help I feel like jumpin right in to this electrical problem with confidence knowing I can holler for help.

The rain has let up, so guess I'll mess with it and see what I can find out. Going to switch some relay around, check for chaffing in the steering column, wire bundle, then check around the petal up/down wiring.
