The ignition circuit is supposed to be closed in the 'on' position and also in the 'start' position. It sounds like that circuit goes open when you release the switch back to the 'on' position after starting the engine.
Thanks for the info. One question though...what's a DMM? Also, if I were to take this to a mechanic, is this usually a pretty expensive repair? The more I think about doing this myself, the more worried I become that I'm going to really screw something up.
