Count me in that group of people! No one was turning the key while I tapped. Thanks for enlightening me.

Could I simulate the 'start' key position by applying 12 volts to terminal 50 at the solenoid? Terminal 50 is the wire coming from the ignition switch. That's the one that measured 10 volts when I turned the key. Unfortunately I don't have a human helper.
