Thanks so much for taking the time to write it all out. Its finally sinking in. I had the grounding wire on the wrong spade terminal. Better lighting and reorienting the shoe and wear patterns matched. Got it on the correct one now. Meter confirms open and closed. I have the open or run position labeled Spark and the closed or off position is labeled Ground. Keeps me from having to think bassakwards about on/off and open/closed.
Thanks again.
