James:
You just turned on the switch that made the light come on, that's exactly
what the problem is, you hit the nail on the head, I'm shorting out the

the point's (at the spring end of point) tomorrow I will redo my step's get
have a spare dizzy again.
thank you for your help, this list is great.
Bernie
