Don't take this the wrong way, but the beginning of this thread starts off a little too secretive. Give us your theory and explain the types of data you've seen so far that led you to this theory. In the very long and
successful Thread(s) related to ignition switch failures
(which I experienced) it is made clear in the beginning what the purpose of the thread was. (Paraphrasing here) to gather data on all failures to date and was the zip tie too tight on the harness at the triple clamp?, had you had intermittent problems before?, etc..
Instead of just saying, "I'm working on a theory", which immediately put me in an "uhh-huhh :drool: state; tell us all what your theory is so far and give an explanation of the data and information you are basing it on. List the commonalities you've come across so far and which ones you're looking for more input on.
The ignition switch problem has been pretty much been beaten to death here, and there is a recall out now anyway, so if it is the
grounding caps you're looking at say so, or a link in between the two even, say so.
Again please don't take offense but very little effort has been put forth by you in the opening post so don't get so pissy about, "no-one gives a shit" until you show that this is worthwhile and going somewhere.
You have obviously done a lot of reading of different posts and threads regarding the failure(s), so share a little and bring everyone up to speed on the theory you're working on and I bet the results will get better.
Here is another fabulous example of empirical data:
Good Example
You could probably compile a list of all the recent and not so recent failures and come up with some similarities just from that.
I'm not busting balls here but rather trying to help because I for one think what you're trying to accomplish by doing this worthwhile and could benefit everyone. So cowboy up and finish what you started. You could be on to something.
