I think I get what you are saying, but full sentences would help.    Where was the short??

@stevasaurus short was in the plug in connection , at dash to ignition switch , one of the wire ends was failing reliable connection . also wire was tight , enhancing the erratic action . replaced 2 wire ends with slide tabs , to hold in plug in . the original wire make up was not tight . pete

Loose connection is an open not a short

  Glad you found it Pete.  I grew up chasing opens and grounds and shorts working for Ma Bell.  Hang in there Mate.
