Hell of a weekend, Some projects just go to hell Options

[DNHunt]

Wife and kids are back in Michigan and I stayed here to work. I needed something to keep me busy so, I decided it was time to make up a new FI harness since me being a tinkerer mine was all cut up and spliced. This was for my MS. So I found a really great 60 pin plug and socket off of a mid 90's Mopar and I start to work on it Tuesday night. Damn, it was slow going.

Sat I was supposed to go to the Sovern races with Kevin. I had to call Kevin and say the car wasn't ready. No races. Sunday Kevin and I were driving to Portland to AX. Car's not ready. No go.

Here's the problem. I need switched 12 volt to supply the main relay on the MS. I was using the black wire to the coil from pin 7 on the 12 pin plug off the relay board before so I hook it up like that on Saturday. It keeps running when I turn the key off WTF. When it's running on after I turn it off it has 4 volts at the primary coil of the main relay. That 4 volts keeps the relay closed. If I touch the brakes the voltage drops and the relay opens. Where the hell is that 4 volts coming from. So, I rip everything out and check for shorts and bad connections. MS check out OK so, I start following wiring back through the relay board to the fuse box to the ignition switch and gauges. Everything looks OK but there is quite a bit of resistance. I still don't know what is back feeding that relay. I'm tired of screwing with it. I think I'll just put a zener in the line. THIS IS WORSE THAN PLUMBING.
