    Not sure if this helps or if it’s related to the recall on the part. But sounds like it’s not contacting the ignition switch plate properly.

    Sweet! Summer can’t come soon enough. I will be taking it to Brainerd to see what I can get away with.

    So tempting to turn the key. Needs fluids and intake and it will be ready to run!

    It’s possible, it’s a gray wire that connects multiple functions like hazards and fog lights. Connects to white bcm plug

    Silicone heater hose looks like a good solution and maybe an upgrade. Would look amazing too, being a smaller OD helps the only concern would be being able to crush to fit in the pipe, silicone is not as pliable as rubber but add enough heat even metal bends easier
