Hi OldMan and Firebird.
Thanks for the pointers,yet i did not fix it.
Took out ignition switch and tested.it is good.
Something odd is happing cause when i test the red Hot wire that goes to the "Batt." terminal on the switch and i get no voltage reading.And it seems to be grounded somehow,or shorting out.the starter will crank if i jump the terminals on the solenoid.very odd,cause i see no apparent wires shorting out.

its a mystery to me.
