I may be wrong but, I don't think there is a wire off the ignition switch that does 12v in "crank" mode. That 12v in crank mode is coming from the starter relay terminal, the smaller terminal on the right (I) which should be a brown wire..

The ignition switch is connected to the starter relay smaller terminal on the left (S), with  red with blue stripe wire.  When the key is in crank mode, this wire pulls the contacts down within the starter relay and connects the battery to the starter via the two large terminal posts,  and it also connects the battery to the smaller terminal post on the right (I) which should be a brown wire that eventually leads back to a connector that is spliced with the pink wire from the ignition switch and then onto the coil.

When in crank mode, since those wires (brown and pink wire) are spliced together going to the coil,  brown wire feeds the coil in crank mode from the starter relay, while the pink wire from the ignition switch feeds the coil in run mode.

Arden, a wiring schemetic is a must with your project! Buy one or you can find one on the net.

Thanks guys,  I got it figured out with your help.  The red/blue wire is the crank wire but I had 12V key on which was incorrect.  I figured it out:  It was backfeeding voltage.  Once I got that taken care of it was 12V in crank only.

Thanks for all your help guys-- except Howard
