Acessory switch on dash has no affect on this circut. How would I isolate if it is the one you are referring to or what I am assuming it is. If it is an Acessory hot I would like to use it for a power supply for a mp3 or something like that. But Don't Want To Tax My lights. For now gunna leave it empty till I know I have the original problem solved.
The orange and black pair are for International model lights. It is fine to use them for accessory power supply.

I experienced simultaneous failures of both start and run switches after riding through several heavy showers over a few days on a cross-country ride...

I stopped in Vidor Texas to gas up on the way back to Houston from Anniston Alabama and when I got ready to go, the starter would engage as soon as I turned on the ignition switch and would not disengage...it trashed the starter spur gear and clutch basket. (got it all fixed under extended warranty)
