Couple that with a flaky relay and the result is the failure of several seemingly unrelated systems.
MDESMOND- thanks a bunch for the relay tip, now my horn only works intermittently, and who really needs that.
Thanks for all the ideas and advice.

Dave,
Happy to see the problem is solved. You are right that this can be a painful diagnosis. I was halfway through pulling my ignition switch out before I decided to take another look.
FYI the Automotion part number for the relay is 141.951.253 B, (up to 1988 951) cost is 14.20 so it's a cheap fix. I am sure our friends here at Pelican can hook you up.
