I forgot to mention that Saying 2 - 3 "well craps" will often work.. Hey, glad you found the problem.. I hate going behind a knucklehead and trying to sort out his mess.. You did good..

I bet some of the mess you've encountered is due to a blown fuse link that the previous owner couldn't diagnose or couldn't find, OR probably didn't understand..

Little by little or issue by issue but as long as your improving it’s going in the right direction.
