Well, finally got the battery shop that told me a week ago that my "battery is like brand new" , That now my battery is shorted internally like he's never seen.
Battery won't take a charge , shows 8-10 volts but won't light a 12 volt bulb !! 
So we charged up a new battery and I just put it in , connected volt meter and worked my ignition switch every which way and the volt meter hardly moves. Very slight drop in the on position ,which is normal.
But no jumping around with all the crazy voltages I was getting before . Working very normal.
No longer appears as though it had anything to do with the switch . Just a really strange shorted battery only 14 months old. But the new one was only $106 with tax 
with a 12 month guarantee

But the new one acts perfectly normal. No jumping around voltages ,I played with the switch a bunch and I can't get any strange readings on voltmeter.

I never had a bad battery in my life until 2 years ago, and i got lot over 10 batteries going right now. Truck battery was bad,. Buddy had harley battery too, both around a year.
One of theories is with the demand for electric vehicles they are cheaping out the spec to keep costs down, or they cheaping on spec as a part of shrinkflation. Jump packs have doubled the few years.
